Hidden surname

🇪🇸 Spanish words

Guess the footballer's surname in 6 tries.

Hidden word with footballers' surnames: the same surname for everyone, 4 to 8 letters long, and six tries each. Every letter turns green (right place), yellow (in the word, wrong place) or grey (not in the word).

On easy you get the most famous ones (Messi, Zidane, Iniesta…); on hard, any of over 1,600. Your rivals only see your colours, never your letters. You can play 1 vs 1, with three or four players, in pairs (2 vs 2), against bots of four levels or in a private room with your friends.

How to play

Any footballer's surname or any Spanish word is allowed. No accents.
After each try, every letter turns green (right letter, right spot), yellow (in the word, but elsewhere) or gray (not in the word).
On easy you get the most famous ones; on hard, anyone. Fewer tries score more points, and the first to get it earn a bonus (+3, +2, +1).

In 2 vs 2, partners add up their points: red and yellow against blue and green.

Tips

Check how many letters it has: MESSI doesn't fit in six boxes.
An everyday word also works for testing letters.
Gray letters are no use anymore: don't repeat them.
