How the guessing game works

Each round, you’ll get a series of hints about a famous footballer. The goal is to identify the player with the fewest hints possible. Here’s what to expect:

• Later clues get more specific — think famous goals, tournaments, or teammates.
• You can guess after each hint, or wait for more info.
