It's Good to Hear the Name

A daily guessing game for football fans who remember the names you'd half-forgotten you knew.

Each day a silhouette of a niche footballer from the 2000s and 2010s appears. You get five clues — one to start, then a new one for each wrong guess. Five guesses to work it out. Get it right and the silhouette reveals.

Cult heroes only. Yakubu. Jay-Jay Okocha. Iván Campo. Wes Morgan. Diego Godín. Trezeguet. Ravanelli. Brad Friedel. The kind of names that get an "oh yeah, him" out of you.

• A new player every day
• 5 clues, 5 guesses
• Autocomplete from a database of thousands of footballers — you can guess almost anyone
• Tracks your stats: win streak, win %, guess distribution
• Share your spoiler-free result with mates

Same player worldwide each day, like Wordle. But then, when has Wordle made you think of David Bentley. So a better version of Wordle. Take that New York Times.
