Here's a little something I've been working on.

It's a daily game, very similar to Wordle but instead of guessing a random word, you're guessing a past or present MK Dons player. You get 5 guesses and after each guess another chunk of the player's career path will be revealed to you. The game will automatically have a new player every single day.

It includes every player who has played for MK Dons and has a Wikipedia page (taken from here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Milton_Keynes_Dons_F.C._players).

A couple of things to note, if a player has spent part of their career playing in non-league, their stats are not always available. In these cases goals and appearances will display as zero. The game was designed to be played on a computer, although I've done my best to make it playable on mobile and tablet for now. I'll try and improve this in the future. If you're having trouble playing the game on your device or have any other problems with it let me know and I'll try my best to fix it for you. Hope you enjoy!

p.s. Message here if you guess the player (no spoilers though obvs) :D

Great idea. :D

I was able to work that one out and get it on the first guess, but I'm sure there'll be plenty that'll prove very tricky. :)

Yeah there's plenty that are really difficult but I thought I'd start of with a slightly simpler one. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is awesome! Would love a way to share result to Twitter after.

If you don't mind me asking - what's it built in? React?

Yeah sharing your results and having a daily streak are both things I would like to add in the future. I just wanted to get the initial version released to see what people thought of it first.

The front end is built using React and I have an Express API on the back end which fetches the player data from a database.

What a great choice of player for the first competition :D

Got the position wrong, though. ;)

No point playing today as you’ve just given it away.
