Play Guess The Player

Daily NFL mystery player challenge

Guess the NFL player with up to eight hints and three guesses. Each extra hint you use reduces your score.


What Is Guess The Player?

Guess The Player is a clue-based NFL puzzle where you guess a new player every day. You can reveal up to eight hints and only get three guesses, so timing matters.

Scoring Rules

You start at 10 points and lose one point for each additional hint revealed.

Three wrong guesses end the run with zero points. Solve with fewer hints to keep more of the starting 10 points.

How To Play

Open the daily puzzle and reveal the available hints one at a time. Each hint gives you another fact about the mystery NFL player, such as career history, team information, position, achievements, or a personal detail. You decide when you have enough information to make a guess.

Search for the player by name and select the exact result you want to submit. You may make up to three guesses. A correct answer completes the game, while three incorrect guesses end the daily run. You can reveal as many as eight hints, but every additional hint after the first reduces the score available for a correct answer.

When to take another hint

Keep every hint in mind. The order of hints changes day-to-day, and some puzzles are easier to solve quickly than others. Team names aren’t always a player’s current team or most well-known team, but are usually the team they spent the most time on.
