A mystery ballplayer every morning, 15 swings to name him — era, then club, then the season itself.
A mystery ballplayer every morning, 15 swings to name him — era, then club, then the season itself.
A single MLB player and 15 tries. You begin with the era, one fact and a free example. The city arrives after 4 misses, and at 7 you get one more exact fact and the choice to reveal. Every name you enter posts a full comparison row: deep green means exact, green close, gold similar.
Hitting and pitching cannot be compared honestly, so each day the board picks one — Pitchers or Batters — and stays there. It names the day's side, then measures your guess against the mystery player's real signature season. Deep green is exact, green near, gold loose, and an arrow points toward the true value.
One MLB player a day and a capped number of guesses, each returning colour on era, club and the numbers — so mlb wordle or baseball wordle describes the feel accurately, with a century of the majors standing in for the dictionary.
Yes, and the teams they played for are the spine of it. Each day fixes one side — Pitchers or Batters — then gives you the era, the club and the real season line, and you name the career from the route. That is the same game as guessing by the teams they played for. "By stats" and "by the teams they played for" describe the same board; the only twist is that the day fixes Pitchers or Batters first, so the stat columns change with it.
Established major leaguers and all-time names, reaching back through the deadball era and the recognised Negro Leagues. Curated deliberately, so a cup-of-coffee career is never the answer.
One a day, same player for everybody, changing at midnight Eastern. Baseball has more history to hide a name in than anything else here, which is exactly why the shared board is worth comparing — and why there is no unlimited version to farm it with. Unlimited is the draft below: spin an era, fill a nine, play the season out.
Open with a recognisable bat from the 1990s or 2000s. If the day is running pitchers you find that out immediately, and the era arrow still points the way through the deepest archive here.
Baseball's streak is its own and is stored on the device you play on. A reveal is not a win — the day ends honestly and the count begins again tomorrow.
Baseball's archive starts in 1871 and runs to the current season — the deepest history on this site. That span covers the deadball era, integration, expansion and the modern game, so the era clue is doing more work here than anywhere else on the board.
The deadball years and the 1970s onward read like different sports statistically. A .300 average means something different in 1911 than in 1999, and the board gives you the era first so the numbers in front of you can be read honestly.
Gold Gloves, All-Star selections, the awards and the league-leading finishes, beside the season's own line. Run environments move so much that a raw batting average means different things in different decades — an award does not.
Often, but baseball's archive is deep enough that the answer is frequently someone with one enormous season rather than a plaque. Cooperstown is a subset of the pool, not the pool.
A real signature season: position, city and years, with that season's hitting or pitching line, league leads and honours where the record has them. Ratings are never part of it.
No — no photo and no swing. A swing identifies a few dozen modern hitters; the stat line reaches back to 1871, through the deadball era and the recognised Negro Leagues, and keeps those answers as gettable as last season's. No photo, silhouette, emoji or swing footage — the line does the work.
You can — the MLB career simulator starts you on a Triple-A route and plays a whole baseball life: the call-up, arbitration winters, free-agent Novembers and a last September, all scored against the archive this board deals its mysteries from.
Nine other sports carry a daily player too, and the Daily Challenge draft is dealt from the same archive. Try Football, Basketball, Soccer, College, Cricket, Golf, Hockey, WNBA, Aussie Rules, or the Daily Challenge board.
