About this game
The daily sports guessing game
Athle is a free daily guessing game for sports fans, inspired by Wordle and the wave of once-a-day puzzles it started. Every day I hide one athlete behind a blurred photo, and your job is to work out who it is from a handful of clues before the picture comes into focus.
There is one puzzle per sport per day, identical for everyone in the world, so it is a fair challenge you can share and compare with friends. No sign-up, no downloads, no paywall. Just start guessing and try to solve today's athlete in as few turns as you can.
How to play
