How to Play
The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible. If you guess a player’s name correctly on your first attempt, you score one point. This means the lowest possible score for guessing all 11 players correctly on the first try is 11. Each correct letter in the right position will turn green, while a correct letter in the wrong position will turn yellow. You have six guesses for each player, and if you fail to guess correctly within these six attempts, we’ll reveal their identity, and you’ll score 11 points for that player. You can also ask for a free letter, but it will cost you one point. So, play on to see if you can achieve the best possible total of 11, or if you’ll end up with a less favorable score of 121.
Instructions and Tips
To start, simply guess the name of the first player. If you get any letters correct, they will change color to either green or yellow, giving you a clue for your next guess. Use these clues to refine your guesses and try to name the player in as few attempts as possible. Remember, the fewer points you score, the better your performance. If you get stuck, you can ask for a free letter, but use this option wisely, as it will add a point to your score. The game is designed to be both challenging and fun, so take your time, think strategically, and see how well you can do. Good luck, and enjoy the game!
