Challenge a friend: pick the team they'll have to guess in this mode - they get a link, with the answer kept hidden.

NFL Team - guess the football team from clues, Wordle-style

NFL Team flips the usual Sportdle formula: instead of a player, you guess a NFL team. Every guess returns a row of clues - conference, division, city, founded year and Super Bowl wins - colour-coded so you can close in on the hidden team.

Green cells mean an exact match, red means a miss, and arrows on the numeric clues tell you whether the hidden team's value is higher or lower than your guess - the same feedback loop Wordle players already know. Because the pool is every NFL team, sharp fans can often solve it in two or three guesses.

Team mode is a quicker, lighter puzzle than the player-based modes - a good warm-up before NFL Classic, or an easy way in for someone who knows the teams better than the players.

A new team is chosen every day, and solving it keeps your Sportdle daily streak alive alongside the other NFL modes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I play NFL Team?
Search for any NFL team. Each guess returns a row of clues - conference, division, city, founded year and Super Bowl wins - compared with the hidden answer. Green = correct, red = wrong, arrows = higher or lower. Keep guessing until you find the team.
Which teams can be the answer?
Every current NFL team is in the pool, so the answer is always a team you know. That makes Team one of the friendlier Sportdle modes for casual fans.
Is it the same answer as NFL Classic?
No - Team picks its own daily answer, and it's a team rather than a player. The two modes run side by side and both feed your Sportdle streak.
When does the daily NFL Team puzzle reset?
A new team is chosen every day at midnight in the league's home timezone. Your result and streak are saved locally in your browser.
Is NFL Team 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 NFL player from clues. Some players also call it the Football Wordle. Sportdle is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times. NFL Team is one of several daily Sportdle modes.
