Poeltl is a daily NBA player guessing game, a basketball twist on Wordle. Each guess shows how close you are to the mystery player across team, position, height, age and jersey number. Here are today's Poeltl hints and the answer.

How to play Poeltl

Type the name of any current NBA player to make a guess. Poeltl compares it with the mystery player on team, conference, division, position, height, age and jersey number.

Matching details are highlighted, near misses are marked, and arrows show whether the answer is higher or lower. Find the player before you run out of guesses.

PoeltlTips & Strategies

Open with a player from a well-known team to quickly find the conference and division.
Once the division is green, you're down to five teams; use roster knowledge from there.
Use height and age arrows together; they cut the field fast.
Position clues matter: guards, forwards and centers fall into very different height ranges.
The answer is a current player, so focus on today's rosters rather than retired stars.
