BALLKNW has five free daily football games: Daily Draft, Deep Cut, Crowd Favourite, 60 Seconds and Higher or Lower. They reset at midnight UK time, everyone gets the same puzzle, and your first go each day counts towards your streak and the daily leaderboard. They are all on one page at ballknw.com/daily.
The five daily games
Every game uses the 2026/27 Premier League squads, so the answers are players you watch every weekend rather than trivia from decades ago. Together the five take about ten minutes a day.
| Game | What you do | How long | Best score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Draft | Sign a Premier League 4-4-2 whose hidden numbers add up to a target. 18 boards a day. | 2-4 min each | Closest to the target |
| Deep Cut | Name three players nobody else will think of. | 1-2 min | Lowest total |
| Crowd Favourite | Guess the answers most people gave to yesterday’s Deep Cut. | 1 min | Highest total |
| 60 Seconds | Name as many players in one category as you can in a minute. | 1 min | Most names |
| Higher or Lower | Is the next player’s stat higher or lower? One life. | 1-3 min | Longest run |
Same puzzle for everyone
Like Wordle, each game picks its puzzle from the date, so you and your mates get the same board, the same question and the same order of players. That is what makes the results worth comparing. The day changes at midnight in the UK, wherever you are playing from.
After you finish, each game tells you what percentage of today’s players you beat. Your first attempt is the one that counts; after that you can keep playing in practice mode, which is not scored.
Streaks, profiles and leaderboards
Play a game on consecutive days and its streak grows. Miss a day and it goes back to zero. The daily hub shows how many of today’s games you have done and your best streak running.
- No account needed. Streaks are saved in your browser straight away.
- Sign in to keep them everywhere. A free profile syncs your streaks and today’s results to every phone and computer you use.
- Get on the leaderboard. Pick a nickname on your profile and your daily scores appear on the top-ten tables for each game.
Play against your mates
Every game ends with a result you can copy into a group chat. The draft games go further: send a 1v1 challenge link and your mate plays the exact board you just played, then you both see who got closer. And the BALLKNW Discord is where people post their daily results and argue about the answers.
