Joe Ingles played for 1 franchise across Utah Jazz. That means a yellow team clue appeared whenever you guessed anyone from those rosters โ€” the classic way regulars narrow the grid down.

How the clues played out

Seven columns compared every guess to Joe Ingles. Here is what each one was hiding on 2026-11-03:

Team clue
Retired legend

A retired legend has no current team, so this column stayed gray for almost every guess โ€” one more reason legends are hard to pin down.

Conference clue
โ€”

With no current team there was no conference to match, so every guess compared far.

Division clue
โ€”

No current team, no division โ€” this column was part of what made the puzzle tough.

Position clue
F

A pure F โ€” green on an exact match, yellow only for a combo guess that also listed F.

Height clue
6'8"

Green at exactly 6'8"; within 2 inches the tile went yellow, with the arrow pointing where to go next โ€” taller (โ–ฒ) or shorter (โ–ผ).

Age clue
39 on 2026-11-03

Counted in years as of puzzle day 2026-11-03 (ET). Green on the exact age, yellow within 2 years with a direction arrow.

Number clue
#2

Green on the exact jersey number; yellow within 2 digits, the arrow showing whether the mystery number sat higher or lower.
