Whose career is this?

This is the app's Daily Puzzle with one difference: in the app you type the name yourself, here you get four options.

The first club is open. Pick a wrong name and another club opens, and the player you picked is compared with the answer:

  • Green: a match
  • Yellow: birth year is close, the arrow points towards the answer
  • Grey: no match

    No. No sign-up, no login, no email. Your progress and streak are stored on your phone.

    Does everyone get the same footballer?

    Yes. The Daily Puzzle is the same for everyone, so you and your friends can solve the same career and compare results.

    Where does the player data come from?

    Wikidata. If you spot a wrong record, write to the address on the support page and I will fix it.

    Is it on Android?

    Not yet, iPhone only for now.
