How to play
Guess the mystery Formula 1 driver in six tries. Suggestions are scoped to the active driver pool, but a name from outside it still works if you type the whole thing — after each guess, the driver's three-letter code appears on the left of the row.
- 1
Type a guess. Start typing a driver's name in the box and pick from the suggestions. Every guess has to be a real driver.
- 2
Read the five tiles. Each guess compares nationality, team, age, debut year, and career wins to the mystery driver.
- 3
Narrow it down. Color, arrows, and shading tell you how close you were — use that to pick your next guess.
- 4
Solve it. You get six guesses. Match all five tiles green and you've got it.

What each column means
- Nationality
- Exact match only — green or grey, no in-between.
- Team
- Green for their current team, dim orange if they've raced for it before, grey otherwise.
- Age
- Numeric. A miss shows an arrow for higher/lower, shading toward orange the closer you were.
- Debut year
- Same numeric rules as age.
- Career wins
- Same numeric rules as age.
Worked example
You guessed Sebastian Vettel:
Nationality miss — the mystery driver isn't German. Team is a historical near-miss — they've raced for Aston Martin before, just not currently. The up arrow means the mystery driver is older than Vettel; the down arrows mean they debuted earlier and have fewer career wins — and the brighter Debut tile means that guess landed closer than the dim Wins guess did.
Tips
- Guess something broad first — it splits the field even if it misses, since every tile carries some information.
- A dim orange team tile is a real clue, not a miss — you've probably got the right driver, just the wrong season.
- The brighter a numeric tile glows, the closer that guess was — chase the brightest tile first.
- Six guesses goes fast. Save at least one or two for narrowing down, not just first impressions.
