What is FootyGuess?

A daily football guessing game. You name a mystery footballer from the clubs they played for, in six guesses or fewer. Think of it as a football Wordle where every clue is a real career. It is free and there is no sign-up.

Is there a new player every day?

Yes. One new mystery footballer a day, the same one for everyone, resetting at midnight UTC.
