Daily Ceteris

Daily Ceteris is a daily guessing game about economics, made by EconCoaching and its Everything Econ channels. Each puzzle has a number, a date and a difficulty label, and asks a single question whose answer is a country, for example which OECD country has the highest female labour-force participation rate.

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. The Economics hint button gives up to two clues about the answer's economy.

After the last guess the game reveals the answer with a short explanation, the data source behind it 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. The question changes at midnight UTC. The questions come from a fixed bank, so a long-time player will meet one again after about four months.

The Games menu on ceteris.app lists more of the same maker's games about countries and economics, each with its own daily puzzle and an endless mode. Daily Ceteris suits players who like Tradle or Worldle and want the reason behind the answer as well as the answer.
