Guess the Dota 2 Pro Player - daily esports guessing game, Wordle-style
Dota 2 Classic is a free daily Dota 2 pro player guessing game, played in the spirit of Wordle. This one is about the players, not the heroes - a new pro is chosen every day, and every guess returns a row of clues - team, TI competitive region, broad role and TI titles - colour-coded so you can narrow the answer down.
Each guess reveals how close you are: green cells mean a match, red cells mean a miss, and numeric columns add higher-or-lower arrows when applicable - the same green/red logic Wordle players already know. Most players land the answer in four to eight guesses once they've read the clue grid a couple of times.
The answer pool is drawn from players from the latest played lineups of all 16 The International participants, so if you watch the regional qualifiers, DreamLeague, ESL One and The International you'll recognise most days' answers. You'll see familiar names most of the time with an occasional deeper cut, and the clue structure means even a lapsed viewer can reason their way to the pro.
When you solve today's Dota 2 Classic puzzle you keep your Sportdle daily streak alive. You can also play unlimited random rounds from the same page to practise before the next daily Dota 2 Wordle-style puzzle resets.

- Is this Dota 2 guessing game free?
- Yes - Sportdle is free to play, with no login required. Your streaks and daily progress are stored only in your own browser.
- Is this Dotadle or Dotle?
- Neither - all three are separate games. Dotadle asks you to guess a Dota 2 hero, and Dotle is BLAST's daily Dota pro game. Sportdle's Dota 2 Classic is an independent free daily that asks for a pro player from the latest lineups of The International field, with Stat Line and Clue Ladder modes alongside it.
- Is Dota 2 Classic like Wordle?
- It uses the same idea as Wordle - a once-a-day puzzle with green/red feedback on each guess - but instead of guessing a word you guess a Dota 2 pro player from clues. Some players also call it the Dota Wordle. Sportdle is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times. Dota 2 Classic is one of several daily Sportdle modes.
