Statle

Statle is three small NBA stat games stacked on one page, all of them built from all time career numbers. The front page stamps a day number on the set and lays the three out with difficulty labels attached: Over / Under marked EASY, Career Clash marked NORMAL, Hit the Target marked HARD. Career Clash is as lean as it sounds. A question at the top, two player cards side by side under it, and a row of ten dashes at the bottom marking how far through the set you are.

1. Pick one of the three games from the front page. Each carries its own difficulty label.
2. In Career Clash, read the question and tap the player you think it favours.
3. Work through the ten matchups. The dash row under the cards fills in as you go, and the header keeps a Stats panel and a How panel within reach.

Three games, one dataset, and no typing at all. Career Clash in particular is the purest form of the thing: two names, one stat, tap the bigger one, ten times over. It works because per game averages are exactly where basketball memory is least reliable, since totals stick in the head and rates do not. Ten taps and you are done, which is a fair definition of a daily.

The frame every question uses is stated on the page: career per game averages, the same puzzle for everyone, new at midnight ET.

Over / Under

Labelled EASY on the front page.

Career Clash

Labelled NORMAL. Ten matchups, each asking which of two players averaged more of a given stat over their career, per game.

Hit the Target

Labelled HARD.

• Career Clash asks about per game averages, not totals, and that flips a lot of intuitions. Longevity piles up totals while dragging the average down.
• There is no clock on the Career Clash board. The only progress indicator is the row of ten dashes, so any pressure you feel is entirely self inflicted.
