I made "Wordle for cricket" — a daily guessing game that's genuinely fun AND sneakily teaches you cricket
Hey all — indie dev + lifelong cricket nerd here. I built Whozat!, a daily cricket guessing game that's meant to be two things at once: a quick daily thrill, and a way to actually learn the game's players, records and history without it feeling like studying.
Here's the hook: every day there's one mystery cricketer, and you get 8 guesses. Name any real player and it shows how they stack up against the mystery player — country, role, batting/bowling style, era, caps, ICC trophies, IPL team — with 🟩/🟨/⬜ tiles and ▲▼ higher/lower arrows (Wordle/Worldle, but cricket). That "narrow it down" chase is the exciting part — you're deducing, not just guessing.
And the learning happens by accident. Every guess teaches you something ("wait, he's got how many Test wickets?"), the commentary box drops progressive clues packed with real facts and famous moments, and every solved player unlocks a card with their bio, career stats and trivia. New fans discover legends; diehards test how deep their knowledge really goes. Three difficulty modes (today's stars → obscure legends), streaks to keep you coming back, and it all plays offline, no login, free.
~275 players from the 1990s to today across India, Australia, England, Pakistan, SA, NZ, SL, WI and more.
Would love feedback on the difficulty balance and which players I should add next.
