Path Between — six degrees of European basketball

Two players at either end and a chain to build between them. Every name you add must have been a real teammate of the one before — the same club in the same seasons, not merely the same badge at different times. Par is the shortest chain that exists; you get par plus three guesses, and every guess costs one whether it lands or not.

How to play Path Between

Frequently asked questions

What exactly counts as a teammate?
A shared club with overlapping stint years. Two players who both wore the same shirt in different decades are not teammates here — that is Common Club's puzzle.
What is par?
The length of the shortest chain that actually exists between the two players, computed in advance. Your budget is par plus three, so there is room to explore without room to wander.
Does a name I get wrong still cost a guess?
Yes, if we can place the player. A name the database cannot resolve at all is not treated as a guess and costs nothing, so a typo never punishes you.
What happens if I give up?
The game reveals one shortest route between the pair. On the Daily it asks once before committing and records a loss, but the round still counts as played so your hub streak survives.

Getting better at Path Between

What's in the game

170 pairs, each with its par worked out in advance by a shortest-route search over the teammate graph: 50 Easy pairs at par 2, 80 Medium at par 3, which is also the Daily's pool, and 40 Hard at par 4. Clubs that changed their names are merged, so an Elan Chalon stint links to a Chalon one.

An example

Sergio Llull to Kostas Sloukas takes two steps. Llull has only ever played for Manresa and Real Madrid; Sloukas for Olympiacos, Fenerbahce and Panathinaikos. They never shared a club, so you need someone who crossed from one side to the other: Guerschon Yabusele played with Llull at Real Madrid from 2021 to 2024 and joined Sloukas at Panathinaikos in 2026.
