How to play FourFourTwo’s Dating Game
FourFourTwo's Dating Game takes a page out of the Wordle playbook: all you have to do is enter your four-digit number guess, and the system will instantly give you feedback by lighting up the digits.
Correct numbers in the correct position will shine bright in green, letting you know you’re one step closer to victory: those that are in the wrong position will light up orange, while the rest will stay greyed out. You have a maximum of six attempts to try and guess the exact date that we're looking for.
The pressure is on, and the clock is ticking on your daily challenge. Think you’re up to the challenge of getting today’s date in the fewest attempts possible?

The Dating Game proves are a scholar of the specific! Now, we shift our focus to the grand history of the national team and the unique paths of players who have graced the Premier League. If you are ready for a glorious test of both history and geography, your next set of detailed challenges awaits, once again, courtesy of Kwizly.
We begin with a deep dive into the history of one of England's biggest clubs. How well do you recall the players who successfully blended club commitment with patriotic duty? Try to name every Manchester United player to go to a major tournament with England. Next, we look at the rising influence of players from across the pond. See if you can recall the 25 Americans with the most Premier League appearances.
Now for a serious test of individual footballing biography. Can you decipher the identity of these 50 players from their career paths? This requires knowing their entire history, not just their famous peak. We then turn our attention to the women's national team: how well do you know England Women? Test yourself with 20 questions on the Lionesses. This is a great way to check your knowledge of the biggest names in the modern game.
