The Grid — nine cells, twelve guesses

Three rows, three columns, and nine cells where they cross. Each cell wants one player who satisfies both sides at once — played for Olympiacos and is French, say. Twelve guesses for nine cells, no player twice, and a board full of names without a single miss earns an Immaculate.

How to play The Grid

Frequently asked questions

Who can I name?
Anyone who has played in the EuroLeague since 2000-01, plus the older greats whose careers we hold: 3177 players. A player counts for a club if we have him there, which means any EuroLeague season with that club since 2000, or any stint in his career.
Why was my answer rejected when the player really did fit?
Usually because the club in question was outside the EuroLeague years we hold: a domestic-league spell before 2000, or a stop that is not in a career timeline. Every EuroLeague roster since 2000-01 is in, so a EuroLeague season always counts.
What is an Immaculate?
Filling all nine cells without a single wrong guess. It is a badge on the result, not a separate mode.
Can two cells take the same player?
No. Each player can appear once on the board. That constraint is what makes the shared-answer cells hard: two neighbouring cells may have almost the same answer list between them.
Can I give up on the Daily?
Yes. Give up fills each empty cell with one answer that would have fitted, and asks once before it commits since there is no second grid that day. It records a loss for The Grid but still counts as played, so the hub streak survives.

Getting better at The Grid

What's in the game

80 daily grids built from the 615 careers in the database. Every cell is checked to have at least one right answer, and most have several. Rows and columns mix clubs, nationalities and positions, and a player counts for a club if it appears anywhere in his career or he was on its EuroLeague roster in any season since 2000-01. Any of 3177 players can answer.

An example

Take the cell where Olympiacos meets France. Evan Fournier is the obvious answer, but the database knows three more: Frank Ntilikina, Moustapha Fall and Kim Tillie. Since each player can be used only once, look at the rest of the board before you spend the famous one. A France or guard cell elsewhere may need him more.
