How scoring works
Every guess returns an emoji that tells you how close your player is to the answer across five attributes: same team, same position, same conference, same era, and same division.
Correct
You got it.
5/5 match
Same player, different name — almost.
3–4/5 match
Strong overlap. Narrow the field.
1–2/5 match
Wrong neighborhood. Rethink the era.
0/5 match
Complete whiff. Start over entirely.
The Rarity score
Solving on Clue 1 is Immaculate — fewer than 2% of players achieve it. Solving on Clue 6 is Common. Like golf: lower is better, and rarity is your secondary leaderboard beyond streaks.

Common questions
Is Jukr a baseball stats guessing game?
Partly — Jukr uses a mix of stat-based clues and career narrative clues. Early clues tend to describe career shape and context; later clues often include specific numbers like batting average, stolen bases, or ERA that help identify the player.
How hard are the stat clues?
Clue 1 is intentionally cryptic — it might describe a career pattern without any identifying numbers. By Clue 3 or 4 you'll usually see specific stats that narrow the field significantly. Clue 6 is almost always a giveaway.
Do I need to know stats to play?
No — but knowing them helps. The clues are written to reward both pure stat-heads and storytelling fans. You can solve on career narrative alone if you have deep baseball knowledge.
Is it like Immaculate Grid?
Different format. Immaculate Grid is a 3×3 where you fill in players who match two criteria. Jukr is a single-player daily puzzle — six progressive clues, six guesses, one answer per day.
How many MLB players are in the database?
Over 6,600 players spanning from the Dead Ball Era to the current season. Every clue is validated against real career data — no hallucinated stats.
Can I see the player's stats after I solve?
Yes — when the puzzle ends (win or loss) you see the player's photo, full career summary, and a fun fact. More stat detail is on the roadmap.
