Poeltl
Guess the NBA player. Team, conference, division, position, height, age, and jersey number show what matched.
DleBox's guide
Poeltl hides one NBA player. You guess a player, and the game marks each fact: whether the team matches, whether the conference or division is right, whether the position matches, and whether height, age, and number are high or low. You are narrowing a roster, not spelling a name from colored letters. A wrong player on the right team is useful. A superstar in the wrong conference is a reset.
The daily player is shared. DleBox does not host the guess box and does not name the player. The link opens the NBPA's Poeltl. Immaculate Grid, the other sports row, asks you to fill nine cells with players who satisfy a row and a column at once. Poeltl asks for one player and gives you a stat line of feedback. The Krillion NBA pack we host is a third thing: our own prompts, such as naming a current team, and it is not the NBPA's player.
Rosters change. The puzzle uses the data the official game is using today. This page does not freeze a roster and does not hint at a position or a team. A screenshot of a mostly green row is a spoiler. We will not rebuild it.
Rules
- You guess an NBA player.
- Team, position, and size are marked separately.
- High and low arrows narrow number fields.
- One player is the daily answer.
- DleBox does not name that player.
Why we like it
- ✓ A near miss on the same team is progress.
- ✓ The feedback is a stat line you can read.
- ✓ It is one player, so the round stays a search rather than a grid.
Play Poeltl when you follow basketball closely enough that a height band means something. If you only know a few teams, the NBA pack on this site is the gentler basketball daily, and it still will not tell you the Poeltl answer.
A green team with a red conference is a data error in your memory, not in the game. The columns are checked separately so you can see which fact failed. DleBox does not fill those columns. The NBPA site does. We are not a roster dump and not a hint about height. If you want basketball without a single hidden player, the NBA pack we host asks for teams and positions from our own list.
About the game
