Guess the mystery footballer's surname in six tries.
Football Wordle is a daily football word game in the style of Wordle. Each day a famous footballer is chosen and you have six guesses to work out their surname, using green and yellow letter clues to narrow it down. It is a quick, addictive test for any football fan — there is a fresh answer every day, and an Unlimited mode for endless guessing whenever you want more than today's player.
Tips for Football Wordle
Open with a surname packed with common letters so you light up as many greens and yellows as possible — names rich in vowels and letters like R, S, T and N make a strong first guess.
Accents are ignored, so you never have to spell a name with its exact diacritics — just get the letters right and let the colours guide you.
How it differs from the original Wordle
Instead of a fixed five-letter word, you are guessing a real footballer’s surname, which can be longer or shorter than five letters. Every answer is a genuinely famous player, so Football Wordle rewards football knowledge as much as word skill.
How to play Football Wordle
A new famous footballer is chosen every day.
Type a real surname and submit your guess.
Green means the letter is in the right spot; yellow means right letter, wrong spot; grey means it is not in the surname.
Solve the surname within six guesses to win.
