ALL GAMES

27 GAMES · 54 BOARDS

Every game on the site, with both of its modes. Daily is one puzzle, the same one for every player until local midnight. Endless deals from a shuffled bag with no limit, so you meet every answer in the pool before any repeats.

> WORLD_

The full archive as an answer pool: every country and territory on file, one clue, six guesses. Every wrong guess returns the great-circle distance to the target, a compass bearing and a proximity percentage.

> US STATES_

The same three puzzles over all fifty states. Shorter pool, so the endless modes are the fastest way to learn the whole set rather than the dozen you already know.

> OTHER MODES_

Three games with a different format. Five rounds each, and you click or pick an answer instead of typing one. Endless deals a fresh five as often as you like.

LOCATE

You are given a country name and you click that country on the world map.

FLAG TRAP

You are shown a flag and pick which country flies it, from four options. The three wrong flags are ones measured to look like the right one.

BORDERS

You are given three countries and pick which country borders all three, from four options.

> REGIONAL PACKS_

198 countries is a punishing place to begin. Each pack plays the same three games over a smaller pool. Start with the starter set: it is hand-picked countries most people have already seen on a map, spread across every region rather than simply the largest. Then take a continent. Each region also has a written guide with a dossier for every country in it.

> WHICH ONE TO START WITH_

Locate, if you have never played anything like this: it asks you to click a country on the map rather than name it, so nothing rests on spelling. After that, the starter pool (67 countries most people have already seen on a map) is the gentlest of the guess-from-a-list games.

Shape is the hardest of the world trio and the one most people come for. Flags reward knowing which tricolours are traps; capitals reward knowing your Central Asia from your Caucasus. All 27 games store progress on your own device, with no account and no sign-up, which also means clearing site data clears your streaks.
