Geodle

Geodle is a small browser game by muhashi, with a numbered daily puzzle that has run since May 2022. Each day there is one secret country, and you have seven guesses to find it.

After each guess the game lays out six facts about your country next to colour codes for how they compare with the answer. Continent, landlocked status and most common religion are a plain match or miss. Population, average temperature and surface area count as a match when they are within 10 percent of the answer's, and otherwise show an arrow up or down so you know which way to move. A guess of Australia might tell you the answer is on another continent, has a similar population, is also coastal and is hotter.

That makes Geodle a game of narrowing ranges rather than reading a map. A good second guess is a country that splits the remaining possibilities on population and climate at the same time. Your result can be shared as rows of coloured squares without the answer, and settings switch temperature to Fahrenheit and area to square miles.

Besides the daily there is an unlimited Quick Play mode with random countries for practice. The game keeps your wins, streak and guess distribution in your browser, with no account. Its answers follow a fixed list of 199 countries, so a long-time player will meet the same country again after about six and a half months.
