Todays Worldle

[SmallTown]

Has anyone tried this?

Wordle. but for countries. Todays was tough but I got it in 4. I actually guess it second but was convinced it didn't look like that.

Worldle - Guess the Country

A daily geography game where you guess the country from its shape and get clues with every attempt. Play daily or explore the archive.

In four for me. Annoyingly I went for a neighbour on my third go.

It describes Scotland as an unknown country, don’t invite Sturgeon to play

Last go by the way

Very tough today I'm surprised anyone can do it

The distances are sometimes more helpful than the outlines so unless you know it straight away, best make you first guess somewhere central. Guessing, say, tonga first off will be useless as practically every other country is west and north of it

I somehow got today's Worldle in one guess. Three years doing a geography degree weren't all wasted

That's some next level geography knowledge there! It's not exactly a distinctive shape! Good work!

Didn't get it :(

What do the arrows represent? Is it the direction away from the previous guess? i.e [target country] is SW from last guess?

Yes it is. so it should point you closer towards the country. Although I have noticed the "diagonals" are very generous. I have seen countries marked as north west of where I guessed and I would have said some were clear north and some were clear west. But it gives you a rough guide.

I recognised the top right hand side (without trying to give too much away).

Annoyingly took me five attempts to get Sunday's Worldle despite going there during uni.

Got close but no cigar

Same was very close with my second guess then got even closer still until I ran out of guesses.

basic fault is that there are a v limited number of possible answers and a lot of 'territories' most ppl won't have heard of, so not as good as nerdle and wordle imho

200 isn't that limited. Not for this year at least. And I've heard of all the territories so far, not exactly hard if you have even a basic graps of geography. Fun though.

It's no geoguessr "All the wetherspoons" map but still...

My 14yo son came home from school and did it first time no thought required 'Its easy dad'

 

[RedAsABeetroot]

Two for me aided by the fact that my Dad worked there a bit.

Tough one today! I got it on the last guess

You need encyclopaedic knowledge of that continent to get that today imo. No chance for me.

 

[changingman]

Got three of the neighbouring countries today but ran out before the main event :(

It reminds me of the University Challenge geography round - which I love but am infuriatingly rubbish at ha.

Reading a little about the history of today's answer - fascinating place.
