How Diamond Context works
Diamond Context is a search through baseball careers. Every guess receives a fixed similarity rank relative to one hidden player. The answer is always number one. Lower ranks mean a closer career match, without revealing which individual characteristic matched.
How to play
Choose an MLB player from search to establish a starting point. You can guess players who played in MLB from 2010 onward.
Compare the new rank with your closest earlier guess. Try related careers, then change one feature at a time, such as primary position, club history or playing era.
Use Get a closer hint when you need another direction. Continue until you guess number one, or give up to reveal the player and finish your saved attempt.
Scoring
Guesses are unlimited and there is no timer. Your result reports whether you solved the puzzle, how many guesses you made and how many hints you used. Hints are counted separately, always reveal a closer unseen player and never reveal the answer. Fewer guesses and hints give you a useful personal challenge.
Playing tips
Use your closest guess as a starting point, then explore players with a similar club history, position or playing era. If a new guess is farther away, return to the stronger lead and try another direction. Consider a player's whole career, including seasons before 2010, rather than only their final club.
