Soccer Grid

Fill nine squares by matching a soccer club and a player's country.

How to play

  1. Choose an empty square, then search the included player bank and submit a player who matches both headers.
  2. Historical senior-club associations through 2023 count, including loans. The country is the player's football nationality. Only names in the provided bank are supported.
  3. Each player can be used once. You have twelve guesses for nine squares; wrong answers use a guess. Daily and practice are untimed; 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.
