What is NBA Wordle?
NBA Wordle is a free daily basketball guessing game in the spirit of Wordle. Every day there is one mystery NBA player to find, and every guess shows how close you are on team, conference, division, position, height, age, jersey number, and birth country.
It takes a couple of minutes and tests how well you know every roster in the league — not just the stars.
How to play
- Type an NBA player's name and pick them from the list to make a guess.
- Green means the attribute matches today's mystery player. For height, age and jersey number, arrows point toward the answer.
- Keep guessing until you find the answer. After 5 guesses a draft clue unlocks, and after 8 guesses the player's photo is revealed.
- Solve it to build your daily streak — a new mystery player arrives every day.
