Heritagle
Rate itFind the day's mystery UNESCO World Heritage Site in six guesses.
Every day: One mystery UNESCO World Heritage Site a day, the same for every player, guessed in six tries with distance, direction, continent, country, inscription year and Cultural, Natural or Mixed clues. New puzzle: Midnight UTC.
Heritagle is a free daily geography game about UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each day one mystery site is the answer for everyone, and you have six guesses to find it. Every guess tells you how far away and in which direction the answer lies, and how close you came on continent, country, inscription year and type.
About Heritagle
Heritagle takes the Wordle pattern of six tries and a shared daily answer and applies it to the UNESCO World Heritage List. At midnight UTC a new mystery site becomes the answer, the same one for every player, and the puzzle number at the top of the page counts up by one.
You type the name of any of the more than 1,200 sites on the list and pick it from the search. Each guess comes back with the distance to the mystery site and an arrow pointing toward it, plus whether you matched its continent and its country, whether it was inscribed earlier or later than your guess, and whether it is a Cultural, Natural or Mixed site. The answers themselves are drawn from a smaller set of widely known sites, so the daily target is usually somewhere you have heard of.
If you are stuck there is a hint that reveals the continent. Stats and streaks are kept in your own browser, so there is no account to make, and after each game you can share an emoji grid that shows your path without naming any site.
Heritagle is an independent game built on the public World Heritage List and is not connected to UNESCO. It suits players of Worldle or Globle who want landmarks and monuments instead of country outlines, and anyone who likes travel trivia.

Tips
- Start with a well-known site near the middle of a large continent so the distance and arrow narrow things quickly.
- Once the country matches, use the inscription year clue to tell sites in the same country apart.
- Keep the hint for last: the distance clue usually tells you the continent anyway.
