Globle: Capitals

About Globle: Capitals

Globle: Capitals takes the hot-and-cold idea of Globle and applies it to the world's capital cities. Each day one capital is the mystery, the same for every player. You type a capital and it appears on the globe, coloured by how close it is to the answer: the hotter the colour, the nearer you are. Each further guess adds a colourful arc to help you see the direction you are moving in.

Distances are measured between city centres, and each country counts one capital, its political or executive one. Cities are drawn larger the more people live there. A spellchecker accepts small mistakes. There is no limit on guesses; the goal is to use as few as possible.

The Mystery Capital changes at midnight in your own time zone, and a practice mode lets you play more in between. It suits Globle players who know their countries and want the harder task of pinning down a single city.
