About Flags (flagsgame.net)

Flags is a browser game with one flag a day. Puzzles are numbered from the first daily flag on 21 July 2025, so Flag #439 fell on 2 October 2026. An archive lets you go back and answer the days you missed.

The first clue is not the flag itself but its colour breakdown: a row of swatches with the percentage of the flag each colour covers, such as 45% green, 42% blue, 10% yellow and 3% white. You type a country into the search box and pick it from the suggestions; only countries in that list can be guessed.

If the guess is wrong, part of the flag is revealed, and the more guesses you make the more of it you see. Each miss also tells you how many kilometres away the right country is and in which compass direction, much like Worldle, so map knowledge helps as much as flag knowledge. You have six attempts in all.

Stats are kept on your device, and the same site has a sister word game called Wordy. It suits players who like flags and geography and want a puzzle that takes a minute or two. The page shows ads.

1. Open flagsgame.net and look at the colour breakdown of today's flag.

5. Check your stats, or open the archive to play days you missed.

Tips

• Rare colours in the breakdown (such as a small share of yellow or white) often point to an emblem or a star.
• Use a central, well-known country as a first guess to get a useful distance and direction.
• Combine the direction clue with the revealed stripes: neighbours often share colour schemes.
• Only countries from the dropdown are accepted, so start typing and pick from the list.
