There is a Wordle type game for baseball fans, called WARdle. WAR is a baseball statistical acronym for Wins Above Replacement level, the new gold standard for rating players.
Anyway, the object of WARdle is to guess the identity of the baseball player in 8 guesses. After each guess the game tells you if you hit correctly on the player's Team, League, Division, Bats R/L, Throws R/L, Country, YOB (Year of birth), and Position.
Here is the link to the site:
https://wardle.app/
Click on the "How to Play" at the top of the screen for rules.
You type in a player's name and a drop down menu of alphabetized names appears. Scroll down to the name you want and click on it. Then look at the categories to see if you got any matches. Adjust your next guess appropriately. For example, if you guess Clayton Kershaw you are selecting a left-handed pitcher from the NL West, specifically the Dodgers. If any of these categories are correct you will see green in those categories. If they are incorrect, they will be unchanged (white space.) If you guess the wrong player but see yellow in the year of birth column that means the player of the day is within 2 years of the year of birth of the guy you guessed.
It's pretty easy with the first guess to narrow down if the player is in the AL or NL or if he bats right or left. After this it becomes somewhat tricky.
