How to Read the Distance, Direction and Proximity Clues
Every wrong guess returns three clues. Read them together and two or three guesses are usually enough to cut 195 countries down to a handful.
Distance in kilometers
Draw a circle with that radius around the country you named — the answer sits somewhere on its edge. Two circles from two different guesses cross at your answer.
The direction arrow
The arrow points from your guess toward the target. Take it as a bearing — it tells you northeast, not a street-level heading — and combine it with the distance to pick the right half of the ring.
The proximity percentage
A percentage from 0% to 100% tells you how much of the way you already are. Watch the jump between guesses: a small jump means the answer is nearby, a big jump means you crossed an ocean.
The five squares
The percentage is also shown as five squares: green squares count the share of the distance already covered, the yellow ones mark what is still in play.
Worldle vs Wordle vs Countryle
All three are daily six-guess puzzles, but they test different skills. Wordle gives you letters and asks for a word. Worldle gives you a silhouette and asks for a country, scoring every guess by distance and direction.
Countryle hides the map entirely: you guess any country and read six numeric clues — hemisphere, continent, area, temperature, population and coordinates — to walk toward the answer.
If you recognise shapes, play Worldle. If you like narrowing number ranges, play Countryle. Both are on this site and linked in the recommendations below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have another question? Let us know.
What is Worldle?
Worldle is a daily geography game in which you identify a country from its outline alone. You get six guesses, and after each one the game tells you how far away your guess is, which direction the answer lies in, and what share of the distance you have covered.
Is Worldle the same as Wordle?
No — only the name rhymes. Wordle is a word game about letters; Worldle is a geography game about country shapes and distances. This page is an independent take on the outline-guessing concept, and the official game by teuteuf.fr is linked below.
Why is the arrow not pointing exactly at the country?
The arrow is a great-circle bearing from the centre of your guess to the centre of the answer, shown as one of eight compass directions. It is deliberately approximate — it tells you which way to look, not the exact spot.
Is there a Worldle unlimited mode?
Yes. The Daily puzzle gives everyone the same outline each day and tracks your streak; Endless mode deals random outlines for unlimited practice without touching your streak.

About this Game
Worldle shows you one thing: the outline of a country. No letters, no continent, no population figure — just the shape. You type the name of a country, and if you are wrong the game does not tell you what the answer is. It tells you how far off you were, in which direction, and roughly how close.
You have six guesses. Every guess narrows the map the same way: distance rules out everything outside a radius, the direction arrow rules out the wrong half of the world, and the proximity percentage tells you whether 'wrong but close' means next door or two continents away. Win the round and bonus rounds open up — capital, flag, currency and bordering countries of the answer.
Most misses are not map-knowledge misses — they are shape misses. Worldle trains you to read coastlines, borders and island chains at a glance, and to turn two or three distance clues into a cross-fix on the map. It is a shape-recognition game, not a map-label game.
