[Worldle](https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/) It’s like Wordle, but for geography. Guess the country by its shape. If you’re wrong, you’ll be told how many km/mi you’re off, and what direction the correct country is. Today’s is really easy, but take a look anyway. ---

There’s also this one. This one is a little trickier. You don’t guess by shape, but have to zero in on the target using heat map type clues. > **[Globle](https://globle-game.com/)** > > Use your geography knowledge to figure out the mystery country in as few guesses as possible! ---

We’ve already got a long thread on Wordle somewhere. But for some reason search doesn’t see it. ---

So, Globle is essentially a “you’re getting warmer, warmer, hot, really hot now!” type of game. I tried it, but, I don’t get what the main challenge is. ETA — just as the OP described it. I may try it again, but so far, meh. ---

That you remember the names of all the countries in the world, I guess. I mean, Wordle is a similar idea, expressed in a different way. Getting closer, getting closer, got it! ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > Got it in 5. Heh. I don’t even want to say how many it took me. I circled all around the country guessing everything but the obvious one. 18. My average is 12 over 6 games. Same thing happened to me the other day with Nepal. And a week or two ago, I got hit with Dominca, which took lots of guesses for me to even come up with all those island names. ---

I just found Quordle, it’s 4 Wordle games at once. My favorite of the Wordle spinoffs so far. ---

I’ve been playing that for a month now. Lots of fun. Almost got a perfect score on Classic world (24,991), but I prefer playing 3-minute timed games. On US Cities, I got 24,999 – the one I missed? My home town. It put me in Lake Michigan about a half mile or so off the Chicago shore and I had to estimate my location. I was just _that_ much off. Some of the videos of the guys who are really good at this are pretty impressive. ---
