How to play Footbillion
A match is seven shots, not a form you fill with every name you know. You get one clue, you have 25 seconds to type one name that fits, and you shoot.
The daily match
The board changes at midnight UTC. On a given day everyone gets the same seven clues, in the same order: player, club, the wider game, player, club, the wider game, player. Only a finished daily match extends the streak.
Score and rarity
A correct name scores 40 to 150, in steps of 10. The name fewer people write first is worth more. 120 and above counts as rare. The ceiling is 1050. Scores start as an editorial prior; once the sample is large enough they are recalculated at midnight from real answers, and they do not move during a matchday.
Spelling
Capitals, accents, and punctuation are folded away. Common short names work. If what you typed is one edit from exactly one accepted answer, and it is long enough, you can confirm it while the clock keeps running. That confirmation does not spend the shot.

After the whistle
Full time plays a short scene for your score, then sticks a card in the album. You can copy a boast for the group chat. A finished daily match can also take a nickname and sit on today's terrace. Practice does not sit. Archive answers stay hidden until the date has passed.
