About Footle
Daily football puzzles for people who know the game
Footle is a football guessing game built around the little details fans remember: current clubs, career paths, squad shapes, positions, nationalities, and transfer clues.
What Footle Is
The main game gives you one mystery footballer each day and ten guesses to solve it. After every guess, the board tells you which details are correct, close, or wide of the mark, so every attempt gives you a better read on the answer.
Around that daily puzzle, Footle has grown into a set of football quiz modes for different kinds of fans. Some modes reward current squad knowledge, some test transfer memory, and others turn football data into quick deduction challenges.
Ways To Play
Each mode keeps the same quick daily feel, but asks you to think about football from a slightly different angle.

How It Is Built
Footle is designed to be simple to open, play, and share. Your personal results and game progress are kept in your browser, while leaderboard entries are only submitted when you choose to send a score.
The puzzles use football player data to create fair clues without making the experience feel like a spreadsheet. The aim is always the same: a quick daily challenge that rewards instinct, memory, and one more guess than you planned to take.
