How it works

Every day there is one cyclist to guess. The same one for everybody, anywhere in the world. At midnight a new one appears.

Eight guesses

You type a rider's name and pick one from the list. After each guess, six columns tell you how close you were.

What the colours mean

• Green ✓ — exactly right.
• Gold ~ — close. Same continent, same kind of team, or within three years.
• Grey × — no match.
• ↑ and ↓ — on age and turning pro: higher or lower.

Every cell carries a symbol as well as a colour, so the game works if you see colours differently. There is a separate colour-blind mode on top of that.

The six columns

1. Country — green for the same country, gold for the same continent.
2. Age — green within a year, gold within three, with an arrow.
3. Team — the team the rider is best known for. Gold for a team at the same level.
4. Type — climber, sprinter, classics rider, time trialist, all-rounder. Gold if the two riders share any speciality.
5. Turned pro — the year of the first professional contract, with an arrow.
6. Wins — career road wins, in bands: 0–9, 10+, 25+, 50+, 99+.

Some days are harder

The week has a rhythm, and it is deliberate:

• Monday to Thursday — riders anyone who follows the news in July would know.
• Friday and Saturday — riders a cycling fan knows.
• Sunday — one for the connoisseur. Sunday is race day in Flanders, so Sunday is the hard one.

Men and women are mixed throughout. Not a separate category, not a bonus round.

Sharing

When you finish you get a small grid of coloured squares to paste into a group chat. It never contains the rider's name, so sharing your result spoils nothing.

What it costs

The daily puzzle is free and stays free. A subscription unlocks the archive of past days, a practice mode and detailed statistics — it never unlocks today's puzzle.

What it does not do

• No account, no login, no registration. The app collects nothing.
• No ads, no analytics, no trackers.
• Works completely offline.
