Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it'll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it'll turn yellow. You have six guesses for each player - and if you fail, we'll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point. So play on to see if you'll score the best possible total of 11 - or fail on every player and score 121.

UK seaside town named most expensive with £1m homes and best-rated beaches
The UK's most expensive seaside town has been named and the top spot has been swiped by a place three hours from London where you may bump into a celebrity If you'd like to see how the other half live, then take a trip to sunny Sandbanks where millionaires live in luxury and high-end restaurants serve up premium feasts. According to LBC, a survey conducted by Lloyds Bank has named Sandbanks, a peninsular area in Dorset, as the most expensive seaside town. Well-known as the home of footballing legend Harry Redknapp, it has more than a glitzy showbiz community to its name. Its unique location, stunning natural beauty, world-renowned beach, award-winning waters, and high-end property market puts it firmly on the map. With around 800 households belonging to it, in 2023, the average house price in the area cost around £965,708. Despite this eye-watering price-tag, the bank said the average house price has gone down by 3%, but it still stands at the top of the list. Lloyds' valuation stands significantly lower than property expert, Rightmove's, which says homes have been fetching, on average, £1,794,043 over the last year. However, the majority of properties selling in Sandbanks during the last year were flats, with an average striking £932,844. "Detached properties sold for an average of £3,906,125, with semi-detached properties fetching £761,667," Rightmove added. "Overall, the historical sold prices in Sandbanks over the last year were 4% down on the previous year and 23% up on the 2021 peak of £1,459,280." Amanda Bryden, head of mortgages at Lloyds, said: 'Coastal living continues to hold a special appeal - whether it's the lure of sea views, sandy beaches, or a slower pace of life. Our latest research shows the most exclusive seaside spots - like Sandbanks - still command premium prices," she added. Sandbanks has a lot of rich history, going from a hidden gem to a popular tourist destination. It's a great place that offers a variety of attractions and activities, from locals and tourists alike. From gorgeous beaches to parks, visitors can take in all the sunlight or have a stroll on the golden sands of Sandbanks Beach, as well as Shell Bay. The town is also perfect for those water fanatics, with plenty of space for sailing, jet skiing, paddle boarding and kayaking. You can also take a 70-minute cruise at the Poole Harbour and Islands Circular Cruise around Europe's largest natural harbour, with prices starting at £11.20. Is eating out expensive? Eating out in Sandbanks can be expensive, especially since there are a lot of upscale restaurants, such as Rick Stein. The restaurant offers a variety of seafood dishes and set menus, with an average price per person ranging between £30 to £60. If you're planning to visit Sandbanks, the fastest and easiest way is by taking the M3 or M27 motorway towards Bournemouth. Then, continue on the A31 and drive on the A35 towards Poole. Then, follow the signs to Sandbanks. It should take you around two hours and 45 minutes - but that also depends on the traffic. Alternatively, there are direct trains from London Waterloo (and other cities in the UK) to Poole Railway Station. From there, you can take a taxi or a local bus towards Sandbanks. The bus stops are at the Poole Bus Station or Bournemouth Square.

Britain's most exclusive seaside towns (and five bargain alternatives)
The allure of living by the sea can be felt by everybody, no matter your tax bracket. At the top end of the spectrum is the exclusive Sandbanks, in Dorset, with the average property costing £965,708. Meanwhile, the most affordable seaside towns can be found in Scotland, with all 10 of the cheapest spots located north of the border. While house prices in coastal towns nationally fell 1pc, to £295,991 last year, the demand for a home by the sea remains strong. Over the past five years, prices have risen 18pc, research by Lloyd's bank has revealed. So it is no surprise that the housing market in seaside towns was worth £21bn in 2024. The prime street in Sandbanks has previously been dubbed 'millionaire's row' and celebrity homeowners have included Harry Redknapp and Rick Stein. One bungalow recently sold for £13.5m to businessman Tom Glanfield. The coastal property league The top of the coastal property league is dominated by locations in the South West, with Salcombe in Devon and Padstow in Cornwall coming in at second and third. Property prices in Salcombe, nicknamed 'Chelsea-on-sea', average at £826,159, Lloyds bank found. Meanwhile a home in Padstow, of Rick Stein fame, averaged at £715,974. The exclusive hotspots are becoming increasingly exclusive, with house prices rising 37pc over the past five years. St Mawes in Cornwall saw the biggest increase over this period, adding £222,602 (68pc) to the price of the typical property. The county remains the holiday home capital of the UK, with 14,123 second homes, according to government figures. During the pandemic, people flocked to the coast to escape city life, leading to a seaside price boom. As normality returned, three out of the top 10 coastal areas during the pandemic have been hit by price falls. However Toby Leek, of estate agency body Propertymark, said: 'Considering that the average house price has dipped slightly year-on-year, the current economic turbulence doesn't seem to have overly affected the market or dented the confidence of buyers of coastal locations.' Research by Knight Frank found that the average premium for coastal properties was 66pc. The estate agency reported that waterfront homes 'showcased greater resilience compared to the broader UK property market, highlighting their enduring appeal'. Indeed buyers are still flocking to seaside towns and this is not confined to the ultra-rich, with Campbeltown in Scotland emerging as the least expensive. House prices average at £103,078, which have fallen 11pc in the past year. Once dubbed the whisky capital of the world, it offers dramatic coastal views and allows for easy visits to the islands of Islay, Jura and Arran. The next three most affordable towns are also on Scotland's west coast, Rothesay, Millport and Port Bannatyne. According to property experts, now is a good time to invest in a home by the sea. Nigel Bishop, of buying agency Recoco Property Search, said: 'One reason for the current price adjustment is the aftermath of the pandemic when people rushed to buy a home outside major cities.' He added: 'As this trend has run its course, property prices are rebalancing. With some coastal areas now seeing an increase in the number of properties being put up for sale, supply and demand levels are also more balanced, which is putting buyers in a stronger position during price negotiations.' Amanda Bryden, of Lloyds, said: 'In some of the UK's most desirable coastal towns, average prices have dipped slightly over the past year. But, over the longer term, values remain significantly higher.'

"In some of the UK's most desirable coastal towns, average prices have dipped slightly over the past year. "But, over the longer term, values remain significantly higher - especially in the South West, where demand from lifestyle movers continues to shape the market. At the other end of the scale, there are still pockets of real affordability - particularly in Scotland, where buyers can find coastal homes for a fraction of the price. "For those willing to look beyond the traditional hotspots, there are some hidden gems offering great value and a strong sense of community. It's also important to recognise that not all coastal areas share the same fortunes.

Redknapp makes Premier League top-five claim and it's 'disastrous' for Chelsea
Harry Redknapp believes Chelsea will fail to qualify for the Champions League, with the former Tottenham manager making his predictions ahead of the final day of the Premier League season Harry Redknapp has made his predictions ahead of the final Premier League games of the season, with a number of clubs competing for a spot in the Champions League. Liverpool have already qualified after they were confirmed as Premier League champions. Arsenal have also earned their spot in the tournament, while Tottenham Hotspur qualified by virtue of winning the Europa League. Five teams are still vying for the other three spots, with the Premier League awarded an extra place due to their UEFA coefficient. Just three points separate third placed Manchester City from Nottingham Forest in seventh, while Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa all sit just two points behind Pep Guardiola's side with one game left to play. And Redknapp has shared his predictions for the final day and he believes it could be "disastrous" for Chelsea, who are set to take on Forest at the City Ground. "This is probably the clash of the weekend," Redknapp told BetVictor Casino. "In fact, it might be one of the games of the season! Just a point between them, what an atmosphere we'll get here. It's been an unbelievable season for Nottingham Forest, and they'd love to finish it off in style. "I know they've slipped up in recent weeks but don't write them off here. For Chelsea, how will this side cope with that atmosphere, that pressure on them? Let's face it, Chelsea not getting top five will be disastrous for the club and a few heads will roll. "This could be anything. I'd love to see Forest get the job done, I think they deserve it. I'm going for 2-1 and that man, Chris Wood, to be the hero." Redknapp is also backing Aston Villa to beat Manchester United 2-0, adding: "A win here could be enough for Villa to make it. That would be a fantastic season for the club, particularly when you consider how well they did in the Champions League this season. "It's worked out quite nicely for them, Spurs last week before the final and United fresh off losing it! Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of pressure on Villa here, the club has budgeted for Champions League qualification. It could be nervy for them, but I think they'll get the job done." He has also tipped Manchester City to beat Fulham 3-1, which will secure their spot in the Champions League. "It won't be easy; Fulham give everyone a good game at home and have had a great season themselves," Redknapp said. "I still think City will get the job done though, even if I see Fulham scoring. 3-1 to City and maybe another Omar Marmoush beauty, what a goal that was the other night!" Newcastle, meanwhile, have been backed to beat Everton 2-0 at St James' Park. "There's a bit of pressure on Newcastle here, but I think they'll be fine," Redknapp explained. "Let's face it, Everton have nothing to play for and last week's goodbye to Goodison felt like the end of their season. With those home fans behind them, I think they'll win comfortably and seal their Champions League spot." If the results do go as Redknapp predicts, Man City and Newcastle would finish in the places they go into the weekend third and fourth respectively. Villa would nab the fifth and final Champions Leagu berth, with Forest settling for the Europa League. Chelsea would drop to seventh, meaning a spot in the Conference League, but they can win that competition this week, securing a spot in the Europa League. That would then allow the team in eighth to secure the Premier League's spot in Europe's third competition.
