How to Play
Statzle has 8 daily puzzle modes, playable across up to 7 leagues each, plus Team Trivia's evergreen team-history games. Pick one below for its full rules, tips, and common mistakes.
How a daily game works
- STEP 1Pick a leagueNFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, Premier League, MLS, UFC. Not every league has every game — each one only offers the modes its data can actually support.
- STEP 2Play today's puzzleEvery game gets one new puzzle per league, per day. No account needed. Missed one? Every past puzzle stays playable in that game's archive.
- STEP 3Keep your streakWin on back-to-back days and your streak in that game grows; a loss or a missed day starts it over. Sign in to keep your streak and show up on the leaderboard.
