A daily NFL puzzle. You get a real game's final week and season, two hidden teams, the final score, and 5 guesses to rebuild exactly how both sides scored: every touchdown, field goal, extra point, two-point try and safety.

Official play-by-play data covering every NFL game from 1999 to now. Every scoring play is tallied up, and each breakdown is checked against the official final score. If a game doesn't add up perfectly, it never becomes a puzzle.

Each puzzle has a scoring breakdown no other puzzle shares. Plenty of games end 20–17, but most of them got there the exact same way, so only one of each makes the cut. No 0–0 games. That still leaves about 5,000 puzzles, or roughly 14 years of dailies.

Puzzles get harder as the week goes on. Monday games have fewer scoring plays and fewer moving parts. Saturday brings the shootouts and the weird stuff. Sunday is a playoff game.

So it's a puzzle, not a memory test. Anyone who knows how football scoring works can play. The teams are revealed when the game ends, win or lose.

Every guess that misses unlocks a hint, up to four. Scramble keeps track of everything you already know from the final score and your colored boxes, then gives you the true fact that rules out the most of what's still possible. It never tells you something you could already figure out, and it never hands you the full answer.

Green means that box is right. Gray means it's wrong. Yellow only shows on touchdown boxes: it means that team's total number of touchdowns is right, but the split between passing, rushing and D/ST is off.

They show what you guessed for that box last time, in the same colors, so you don't have to scroll back up to remember.

They compare your boxes to the real final score. ✓ means they add up exactly. ↑ means you need more points, ↓ means fewer.

Any touchdown that isn't a passing or rushing touchdown: pick-sixes, fumble returns, kick and punt returns, blocked kicks, and the rare fumble recovered in the end zone.

Because that box score can't happen. Every extra point and two-point try needs a touchdown before it, so a team can't have more of those than touchdowns.

Pass TD, Rush TD, FG and XP boxes are worth 80 points if you get them on your first guess and lose 10 for each guess they stay wrong. D/ST TD, 2PT and Safety boxes are worth 40 and lose 5. A perfect game is 880.

Teams are shown by the city they played in that season. A 2005 Raiders game was an Oakland game.

No. Scramble is an independent fan project. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the NFL or any team. Teams are shown by city only.

Open the menu and tap Contact. It goes straight to me, and I read everything.

No, just me.

I'm Julio Robinson, a depressed yet determined Falcons fan. I've watched enough football to know every possible way a lead can disappear, so I figured I'd put that knowledge to use.
