Every day: One numbered economics question a day (Puzzle #73 on 6 October 2026), the same for everyone, answered with a country in six guesses. New puzzle: Once a day, with a countdown to the next puzzle shown on the page.
Daily Ceteris is a free browser game from EconCoaching that asks one economics question a day, such as which country is the largest producer of natural rubber. You have six guesses to name the country. In Normal mode each wrong guess shows its distance and direction from the answer; Hard mode leaves out the map hints. The answer comes with a short note on the economics behind it.
About Daily Ceteris
Daily Ceteris is a daily guessing game about economics, made by EconCoaching and its Everything Econ channels. Each puzzle has a number and a date and asks a single question whose answer is a country, for example which country is the world's largest producer of natural rubber.
You type a country and press Guess, and you have six tries. In Normal mode a wrong guess shows how far it is from the answer, a closeness percentage and an arrow pointing the right way, measured from the centre of each country, with green for hot, orange for warm and red for cold. Hard mode drops these geographic hints, so you have to work it out from the economics alone. An Economics hint button gives a clue about the answer's economy.
After the last guess the game reveals the answer with a short explanation and a link to an article on the topic. You can share your result as coloured squares or as an image, and your stats keep a win rate and a win streak. A countdown shows when the next puzzle arrives, and the Games menu lists more Ceteris games with their own daily puzzles.

Tips
- Distances are measured from the centre of each country, not its capital, so large countries can read farther away than you expect.
- Your first guess can be a central country, so the arrow tells you which part of the world to search.
- Think about who produces or trades the most of the thing named in the question before you guess.
