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.

Fairly challenging without a sense of the size of the countries.

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

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

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

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

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.

Yeah, that area is kind of hard to get a hold on. Wonder if we started with the same country...

I'm waiting for USA.

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

Today's country looks like a female goose dressed up for an appearance on The Gilded Age.

Yeah, it took me five guesses to get BIOT. Have had a much better time with just about all of the others. It's those islands that are a bitch.

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.
