How to Play Footdle

Think you have the scouting instincts to identify any star from just a few clues? Footdle is the ultimate professional player deduction game. Every day, a new mystery legend is hidden behind a grid of attributes. Can you unmask the target using your knowledge of the global transfer market and league hierarchies?

1

Submit a Prospect: Type the name of any professional soccer player to start your investigation. Your first guess will reveal a baseline of data across nationality, league, club, and position.

2

Decode the Indicators: Watch the color-coded feedback. Green means a perfect match, Yellow indicates a close proximity (like a similar age or a neighboring league), and gray means no professional link.

3

Narrow the Search: Use the directional arrows for age and stats to refine your next choice. You have 8 tries to identify the mystery legend before the transfer window closes and the game ends!
