DAILY + UNLIMITED NBA PLAYER GAME

Guess the NBA player in six tries

Basketball Wordle is a free NBA player guessing game built around six verified clues: team, position, nation, height, age and draft year. Daily mode gives everyone one shared mystery player, while Unlimited mode creates practice rounds without changing your Daily result.

Roster scope: this edition uses a versioned 2025–26 NBA player snapshot, assembled from ESPN roster and player profiles with reviewed corrections. Team, age and profile clues are snapshot facts, not a live transaction feed. Read how our basketball data is prepared.

Reading a height clue

Stephen Curry’s NBA profile lists him at 6′2″. In an illustrative comparison against an imagined 6′4″ target, his height tile would be orange with ↑: the target is two inches taller. An exact height would be green with no arrow; a gap greater than two inches would be gray with an arrow. This example explains one clue, not a puzzle solution.

How are Daily and Unlimited different?

Select Daily or Unlimited in the toolbar above the player search. Daily gives everyone the same UTC-dated NBA target and records a streak. Unlimited creates fresh practice targets on this page; after finishing, choose Next player. Practice does not change the saved Daily result.

What do the colors and arrows mean?

Green means an exact match. Orange means a shared position family, height within two inches, or age or draft year within two years. Gray means no match. ↑ means the target value is higher; ↓ means it is lower. For draft year, higher means a later draft, not an older player. UD means undrafted and is not treated as a numeric year.

Which NBA players can be mystery answers?

Mystery answers come from a curated pool of recognizable players in the game’s dated NBA roster snapshot. Complete profiles in that snapshot remain searchable, so the guess pool is broader than the answer pool.

When does the Daily puzzle reset?

A shared target is assigned by UTC date and published shortly after midnight. Daily progress and streaks stay separate from Unlimited practice rounds.
