Daily Football Quiz: Guess the Player of the Day
Every day there is one new footballer to work out, and everybody gets the same one. The first clue is waiting when you open the page. Guess wrong and another clue appears, so the real challenge is naming the player before you have seen all of them.
A new footballer every day at midnight
The puzzle changes once a day and resets at midnight UTC+3. Whatever you do with today's player, that is it until the next one lands, which is what makes solving it in two clues worth something.
Clues arrive one at a time
You start with a single clue and earn the next one by guessing wrong. Clubs, trophies, nationality and career numbers come out gradually, so the fan who knows their football finishes on fewer hints than the one working through names at random.
Everyone is solving the same player
Because the daily quiz is shared, the number of people who have solved it and the number who have given up keep updating through the day. It is the closest thing here to playing against the whole site at once.
When one puzzle a day is not enough
The daily quiz is a single-player warm-up. For more, the rest of the site is live multiplayer: guess footballers from clues in The Scout, claim squares in football tic-tac-toe, or race to name a player who fits two clubs at once.
