How to play NBAdle, the NBA Wordle

Every day there is a new secret character from NBA. Type any character name and submit it. Each guess shows how close you are: green means that clue matches the secret character, yellow means a partial match, and red means it's wrong. For number clues like Born, an arrow tells you whether the answer is higher or lower. Keep guessing until you find the character. There is no limit.
