A nice twist on Wordle - guess the country based on distance away from last guess

Not sure how much longevity it will have, but I’ll give it a few goes

I've been studying geography for a while for trivia; got today's in 1. The distance clues might be interesting though. I have not as great a grasp on scale.

That sounds familiar. Yesterday's (#16) one was a direct hit for me, which wasn't fun at all for the first try with a new game. Today's (#17) was more challenging (for me, took me 5 guesses) and I have to admit that although I usually know where countries are located relative to one another, the ability to guess distances is not yet part of my geographical knowledge. And I expect it's harder to get used to given that distances are very different for countries closer to the North Pole compared to those located on the equator.

Very pleased my last guess was right, as I had run out of countries I knew in that area!

Today was a bit tougher. (Three tries.)

I sat down with my 9yo son to play yesterday's, explanied the game, and also got it in 1 guess which made him shrug with a "WTF Dad this wasn't fun at all" vibe... maybe tonight will be better

AlexB · 02-08-2022, 02:21 PM

You have the options to rotate / remove the country image if too easy. I’ve gone with rotated, and it thoroughly confused me today!

AlexB · 02-09-2022, 02:24 AM

Another fail.

Like yesterday I was next door, but this is proving what I suspected - my knowledge of exact locations of countries isn’t great

AlexB · 02-10-2022, 01:19 AM

Nope. Definitely not very good at this

cuervo72 · 02-10-2022, 07:40 AM

TBH my last guess could have been any one of half a dozen countries. I’ve worked out I know roughly where countries are, but not where they are in relation to each other

I'm so trash at this and it isn't funny. And I got an A in world geography somewhat recently. this last one, I guessed every country around it except for the actual country.

Although I will say the scale today threw me off and it took a second guess.

I don't mind island nations, but when they're going to put every single island on the planet earth in their game, I won't be able to play unless I use a map or globe to help me out. Which to me feels cheating in this particular game.

Usually takes me 4-6 chances if I even get it right. My 7 year old has yet to take more than 2 guesses.
