Football anagrams: unscramble the player first
The name is familiar, but the letters are scrambled. In CrossOver’s Çöz Kazan mode, both players see the same puzzle and the first correct full name wins the round.
Playing this mode in the app requires an active Social Pack and an internet connection. See the in-app store for package details and pricing.

How the anagram match works
- A match has seven regular rounds, each with a different scrambled footballer name.
- Both players race at the same time. Each round lasts 20 seconds; the first correct answer earns the point.
- A wrong answer locks your input for five seconds. You can try again if the round is still running when the lock ends.
- Each word is shuffled separately. Enter the displayed full name; players recorded under one name have one word.
- A tied score after seven rounds leads to extra sudden-death rounds. If those remain unresolved, the match can end in a draw.
A practical way to solve names faster
Start with word lengths. Two short words and one long surname suggest different names. Then look for repeated or unusual letters: a doubled letter can quickly rule out an otherwise tempting guess.
Before submitting, account for every letter. This mode checks the complete name, so relying on approximate spelling can cost five seconds. Capitalisation, spaces and punctuation do not change the match; plain equivalents of Turkish letters are accepted.
Here you rearrange supplied letters. For a different challenge, Letter–Club asks you to produce your own answer from a letter and a club.
