Could you build this?

Partial The game mechanics (guess the player, spelling, grids, linking players) are simple to build. The hard part is a licensed football database with player photos, stats, and team histories.

What it would actually take: Build a daily-puzzle web app with a random-game generator and scoring. The core is a structured player and team-history dataset with images. Sourcing that data, either by licensing from a sports data provider or building it, and handling image rights are the real barriers.
