How to Play PFN’s NFL Player Guessing Game
This fun game allows you to guess the NFL player based on clues about their team, division, position, jersey number, memorable touchdowns, and experience. Each guess gives you feedback with color-coded tiles: green for a perfect match, yellow for close but not exact, and gray for no match.
The division clue will tell you if you’re in the right conference, while height, age, and uniform number clues will let you know if you’re within two units of the correct figure. If ever you are stuck on a guess or you can’t figure out the player's name, use your clue after the fifth guess for an extra hint to help. Sharpen your skills and see if you can guess the player before running out of tries.
How Many Chances Do You Get?
When playing PFN’s NFL Player Guessing Game, the user gets eight guesses to try and find the right player being mentioned. If you do not get it within eight attempts, you can always refresh and try again. One new player is added every single day.
What Do the Different Colors in the NFL Player Guessing Game Mean?
After each guess, the color of the tiles will change depending on how close your guess was to the player.
In any column, green represents a match.
In the division column, yellow represents the correct conference but not the correct division.
In the TD, experience, and uniform column, yellow represents that the correct number is within 2 (years, numbers) of the player.
If you get stuck you may use the clue after the fifth guess.
