Frequently Asked Questions

How do you play Football Connections?

You try to sort 16 footballers into 4 hidden groups of 4. Each group shares something — same club, same nationality, same position, or same age. Pick 4 players and hit Submit; a correct group locks in as a colored bar.

How many mistakes am I allowed?

You get 4 mistakes. If your 4 picks don't fully match any group, you lose a life; if 3 of them belong to the same group, you'll see a "One away!" hint meaning you're very close.

Do the groups change every day?

Yes — a brand-new set of 16 players and 4 groups is picked every midnight in your local time zone. Everyone playing that day faces the same puzzle.

Which players can appear in the puzzle?

Players are drawn from the 6 top leagues (Süper Lig, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) who have a real photo — so every card shows an actual player picture.

How do I share my result?

When the game ends (win or lose), hit "Copy Result" to copy a spoiler-free colored emoji grid showing the order you solved the groups — share it anywhere without giving away the answers.
