How to play Football Tenable (Top 10)

Football Tenable is a daily football top 10 quiz, and it doesn't test what you know, it tests what you can retrieve. You get a question, something like “Real Madrid's 10 most expensive signings”, and ten empty slots. You almost certainly know all ten answers. Getting all ten out of your head at once is the hard part. (Some players search for this format as footy Tenable, teneball or tenaball; whichever name you use, here it is free and daily.)

The idea in one paragraph

Every question has exactly ten correct answers, ranked by a number. Type a name; if it's on the list it drops into its own rank with its value shown. You have 5 wrong guesses. Order is irrelevant — naming the seventh before the first is fine.

How to think about it

  • Start with the obvious one. The name at the top is usually the one everybody knows, and it opens a slot for free.
  • Sweep by era. The names that won't come to you are usually from a different decade — when the 2010s run dry, drop back to the 2000s.
  • Save the shaky guesses for last. Five lives is not many; burn three on hunches and you've no room left to actually think.
  • Repeats are free. Typing the same wrong answer twice costs nothing — you just get a nudge.

What the questions are

The rotation holds more than 100 lists, all from real records: all-time goal and appearance leaders of the big leagues, national teams and the Champions League, big-club record holders, record transfer fees, recent Ballon d'Or rankings, World Cup and EURO stats. No narrow lists about a single season or one player's teammates: the point is that all ten answers can come to mind.

Scoring, sharing and the daily reset

There's no score, just how many of the ten you got. The shareable result is a row of squares that gives nothing away. A new question arrives at midnight in your own time zone, and everyone playing that day gets the same one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you play Football Top 10?

You get a question and ten empty slots. Type answers that fit the question to fill them. You have 5 wrong guesses.

Is this the same as football tenable?

Same format, yes — ten correct answers, limited lives. This is the daily soccer version of it.

Is Football Tenable the same as footy Tenable?

Yes, they are two names for the same kind of quiz: one football question, ten ranked answers, and you name as many as you can. The idea comes from the TV quiz format; Futbolle is an independent fan-made site and is not affiliated with the show.

Do I have to answer in order?

No. Whatever you type drops into its own rank automatically.

Will a surname on its own be accepted?

Usually yes. But when two answers on the same list share a surname, the full name is required — otherwise there's no way to tell which one you meant.

Is there a new question every day?

Yes, a new list is picked at midnight in your own time zone.
