Shadowbox

How to play

1. Pick a promotion — each one hides its own mystery fighter every day.
2. Type any fighter from that promotion and submit the guess.
3. Tiles show how close you are: green is a match, yellow is close (a neighboring division; within 2 years, fights, inches or wins), gray is a miss. Arrows point toward the answer's value.
4. Find the fighter within 8 guesses to keep your streak alive, then share your result.
