How to Play Teamsheet

The aim of the game? Keep your score as low as possible!

  • If you guess a player correctly on your first try, you score one point.
  • The perfect score for guessing all players immediately is 11 points.
  • If you get a correct letter in the right position, it turns green.
  • If the letter is correct but in the wrong position, it turns yellow.
  • You have six guesses per player—if you don’t get it right, the game will reveal the answer, but it’ll cost you 11 points!
  • Need a little help? You can request a free letter, but it’ll add a point to your score.

The ultimate goal? Score the lowest possible total of 11 points.

The worst-case scenario? Miss every player and end up with 121 points.
