Footdle is a daily football puzzle hub — not just one Wordle clone, but four different puzzle modes sharing one coin economy, all built around real 2026 World Cup squads. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY, ONE PUZZLE A DAY EACH • Wordle — guess a real World Cup player's surname in 6 tries, classic green/gold tile feedback • Who Am I? — reveal clues one at a time (position, nationality, age, clubs, trophies) and guess the player • Career Path — a player's club history unlocks one club at a time; guess who it is • Starting XI — a famous match lineup with one player blanked out; guess who's missing Every mode uses the same real answer pool of ~530 World Cup players, and every puzzle resets daily — the same challenge for everyone, every day. NEVER RUN OUT OF HELP Hints don't dry up. If you use every clue Footdle has for a puzzle, it keeps going by revealing the answer letter by letter until you solve it. You'll never get stuck with zero path forward. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Solve a player in any mode and their card joins your Album. Complete all four of a day's puzzles and that day's full Collection unlocks in the Trophy Room, with a bonus on top. YOUR COINS, YOUR PACE Start with a coin balance, earn more by solving puzzles or watching a rewarded ad, and spend them on hints or a fresh guess when you're stuck. No subscription, no pressure — play at your own pace. No account required. No data leaves your device except what's needed for ads and purchases.
