Weddle is a daily guessing game where NFL fans try to identify a mystery football player using clues about their team, position, division, and physical attributes. Named after legendary safety Eric Weddle, the game has become a daily ritual for American football fans who want to test their knowledge of active NFL rosters.
Each day presents a new mystery player. You start by guessing any active NFL player, and the game responds with colour-coded feedback for each attribute: green means an exact match, yellow means close (for example, same conference but different division), and grey means no match at all. The attributes tracked include team, division, position, height, age, and jersey number — giving you a grid of clues that narrows the field with every guess.
The genius of Weddle lies in how it turns NFL roster knowledge into a deduction puzzle. Knowing that the mystery player is in the AFC West, plays defence, is over 6’2”, and wears a number in the 90s dramatically shrinks the pool of possibilities. Hardcore fans can often solve it in three or four guesses, while casual fans might need eight or more attempts. There’s no guess limit, which keeps it accessible for everyone.
Since its launch, Weddle has expanded into multiple game modes. There’s the classic mode, a grid challenge where you match players to intersecting categories, and a silhouette mode where you identify players from their outline. The game updates daily and tracks your streak, making it perfect for that morning-coffee NFL fix during both the season and the offseason.
