Enjoy Wordle, sports trivia? These new quizzes are viral for testing your sports knowledge

Jason Snow, The Patriot Ledger

The Wordle craze -- it seemed as though it captivated a vast majority of people. Were you one of them?

The daily word-guessing puzzle quickly became a social media sensation, and users made a morning routine of proudly posting their results.

Very rarely did the secret word relate to sports.

Now, there's a new series of daily puzzles sweeping the social media landscape, and they are specifically catered for sports fanatics.

They go by a few different names, but all follow the same grid-style format.

The object of the game is to fill out the grid by entering players' names that fit both the row and column's criteria.

Example: If a column says 200-strikeout season, and the third row down says Cy Young Winner, one answer would be Red Sox great Pedro Martinez (among other fitting responses).
