How to Play
Think you know ball? Prove it. Sundaydle is a free NFL trivia game: daily puzzles, practice and Weekly Recap, plus daily Hot Takes and weekly Ranks. No ads, no paywall.
The Lineup
SOLOPlay the daily spotlight or choose an assignment from the collection. Name five NFL players who fit its dates and conditions. Daily progress is separate from practice; completed badges stay when you replay. There is no timer or limit on guesses. Suggestions help with spelling; a suggested name may not fit. Use clues when you need them, resume on this device, then share your result without revealing the players.
Weekly Recap
SOLORemember the week's games and bigger stories. Play without a timer, lock in one answer per question, then read the recap and its sources. One point per correct answer; your first attempt sets your score. Leave and resume the same attempt later. Share the same edition with friends and review missed facts afterwards.
Daily
SOLOOne NFL drive a day, with the same questions for players using the same rules. Correct answers move the chains; speed adds a smaller bonus. Current rules award 8-12 yards per correct play, while classic challenges retain 4-20 yards. Read the explanation after each answer and continue when ready. Reach the end zone for a touchdown; stall on 4th down and you turn it over. Score to keep your streak alive.
Connections
SOLOA daily NFL grid: 16 names, four hidden groups of four. Sort them out, watch the traps, a player who looks like a quarterback might belong with the busts. Four mistakes and you're done. Solve it, build your streak and share the color grid.
Practice
SOLOPick a topic or team for a 5-question round. Practice starts without a timer. Choose Rookie, Pro or All-Pro, read each explanation, then continue when ready. In Who Am I, reveal clues yourself for 4, 3, 2 or 1 points and make one final guess. Review missed facts or try the sourced career clues. Speed round is a separate timed option; All-Pro speed rounds earn 1.5x XP and coins.
Endless
SOLOSurvival: one wrong answer or a timeout ends the run. The clock tightens as you progress, with a paused checkpoint after every five correct answers. Continue when ready. Your longest streak is the main score; speed points break ties. Review the final question afterwards.
Duel
VS REAL PLAYERSChallenge a friend with a link. Play 5 timed questions; your friend gets the exact same saved questions and scoring rules. New challenges score up to 200 points per question. Win a completed challenge for bonus coins and XP. Recorded runs are clearly labelled as replays; beating one does not award a duel-win bonus.
Hot Takes
DAILY POLLA fresh NFL debate every day, no right answer, just your call. Vote on the biggest arguments (think QB GOAT or rings vs stats), instantly see how fans split, and share your take to start a fight.
Ranks
Every bit of XP you earn all week feeds the ladder. Climb the tiers from Bronze to Diamond, and top the daily leaderboard. Resets every week.
Knowledge and speed
Practice has no clock. Answer without extra hints to build mastery, then read the explanation and continue at your own pace. Timed modes usually use a 10-second clock, with longer limits for some question types. Correct answers earn points plus a speed bonus; a wrong answer or timeout earns zero. Speed records are separate from new mastery stars.
Coins, collection and mastery
Nine packs are free to play. Earn coins through correct answers, challenges and daily rewards, then unlock all 32 team packs and division packs. Each pack has five mastery stars. New stars come from different facts answered without extra hints in Practice, with the higher stars requiring recall on later days. Repeating the same fact today does not earn it twice. Stars you already earned stay yours.
Streaks, Timeouts & tiers
Score at least once (a TD or field goal) to keep your Daily streak alive. Miss a day, or get shut out? A Timeout saves your streak either way, earn one at every 5-day milestone or buy one with coins. All the XP you earn feeds a weekly tier, climb from Bronze to Diamond and reset each week to climb again. Sign in to carry your coins, level and collection across devices.
Badges & cosmetics
Hit milestones and the badges pile up across seven categories: streaks, levels, perfect rounds, duel wins and more. Badges and coins unlock avatars and titles you can flex on the leaderboard and in your duels. Track it all on your profile.
Common questions
Is Sundaydle free?
Yes. Every mode is free, with no ads and no paywall. You unlock extra packs with coins you earn by playing, never with money.
Is Sundaydle like Wordle?
Same daily habit, NFL instead of words. One puzzle a day that everyone gets, with a result you can share. If you came looking for an NFL Wordle, the daily Drive and the Connections grid are exactly that.
Can I guess the NFL player?
Yes, that's most of the game. In Practice, Who Am I lets you reveal clues at your own pace before one final guess. Timed modes reveal clues as the clock runs, and plenty of questions ask who put up which stat. Connections hands you 16 NFL names to sort into groups.
Is there an NFL Connections?
Yes, a fresh one every day. 16 NFL names and four hidden groups. Four mistakes and you're out, free, no subscription, no paywall.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play everything as a guest. Sign in only if you want your streak and coins to follow you across devices.
