NFL Grid

Fill nine squares by matching NFL players to team and position.

How to play

  1. Choose an empty square, then search the player bank and select a name. Submit player uses one guess.
  2. Match the row team and column position in the dated roster snapshot. You have twelve guesses; correct players lock in and cannot be reused.
  3. Fill all nine squares to win. A finished grid includes a possible solution. Daily and practice have no clock; live matches allow four minutes and rank by squares filled.

Progress and results

Both players receive the same puzzle and clock. Real-player matches affect this game's Elo; bot matches are unrated. Leaving through the game controls forfeits the match.

A complete correct word or logic solve beats a partial attempt. Complete solves compare time; finishes within 0.1 seconds tie. If neither player finishes, higher verified progress wins; equal progress ties. Quizzes compare native correct-answer or clue scores first. 2048 and Keep the Beat compare native scores; equal native scores tie.

Finish and save progress banks your work in a friend duel. Results are revealed when the challenge closes. An untouched stage earns zero. In live head-to-head, leaving is still a forfeit.

Game points describe correct work or performance toward the game's goal. Native measures such as correct answers and merge score remain visible. Hidden-answer accuracy is revealed only after the attempt ends.

Submitted moves save as you play. Finishing early is permanent and keeps verified progress; an untouched game earns zero. Active competition clocks keep running when you leave. Breaks between stages are untimed.
