How to play
The game
- 1. Guess the athlete. Blanks show the length of the player's full name. Choose a sport: Soccer, NFL, NBA, or MLB.
- 2. Alphabet with hints. The full A–Z sits under the name. Each question highlights 4 letters — one is in the name, the others are decoys. You only learn which was real after you commit.
- 3. Answer trivia. Correct → the target letter is revealed. Wrong → that option's letter is burned and a body part appears.
- 4. Fouls out. Six wrong answers or foul-inducing guesses ends the game.
Lifelines (once each)
- VAR 50/50 — remove two wrong options.
- Scouting Report — reveal nationality, team, position.
- Swap Question — get a different question for the same target letter.
Direct guesses
- Guess a letter (2 uses) — type any A–Z. Correct reveals every instance (+75 pts each). Wrong burns it and adds a foul.
- Guess the name (1 use) — instant win with a +1000 bonus if right. Wrong = foul.
