Geodle (Singapore)

About Geodle (Singapore)

Geodle takes the Worldle idea down to one city. Its home page lists five daily puzzles, all in Singapore: MRT and LRT stations, MRT stations only, schools, shopping malls and parks. Each has its own hidden location of the day, the same for every player.

You type a guess and pick it from the options offered, so every guess is a real place in that list. The row then shows the distance from your guess to the answer, such as 11.82 km, and an arrow for the direction to head. With six tries you close in by moving across the island, and a stats button keeps your record.

The credits name Wordle and Worldle as its inspiration, and station data from RailRouter SG. The game asks for local knowledge rather than a map on screen: you have to picture where each station or school sits in relation to the others. Reviewers at TheSmartLocal found the schools puzzle the harder one, since few people know schools outside their own neighbourhood.

It suits Singaporeans who want a quick daily test of their home ground, and players of Worldle and the station guessing games who like a city-sized map.

Tips

• Start in the middle of the island so the first arrow cuts the map in half.
• Use what you know of the MRT lines: stations along one line give a straight path toward the answer.
• Start with a place near home, where you know the neighbourhood well.
• Play all five puzzles: each has its own location of the day.
