JETLAG

Jetlag asks a simple question about the map: which two cities are closer together? Each day the game deals four pairs of capitals, each city shown with its country's flag. You place the pairs into four numbered slots, from 1 for the shortest distance down to 4 for the longest, measured along the great circle between the two cities.

When all four slots are filled you press Check. Any pair in its right slot turns green and locks in place. The rest go back to the set, marked with the slot where they were wrong, so the next try starts with a little more to go on. You get three tries. Solving on the first earns gold, on the second silver and on the third bronze. Once the day is done the game shows the real distances and draws the four routes on a world map.

On 13 November 2026, Daily #10 paired Accra with Mogadishu, Manila with Tehran, Phnom Penh with Budapest and Harare with Mexico City. The code keeps the four distances at least a fifth apart from each other and mixes pairs across regions, so no two pairs join the same two parts of the world. The hard part is usually the middle, where two long hops across Asia or Africa feel about the same.

The game is made by J Krishnamurthi and sits on the Take5Games menu of about twenty small dailies, beside the flag and capital puzzles False Flag, Das Capital and Geochamp. It needs no sign-up. Medals, streaks and a share line are kept in your browser, and you can leave and come back to finish the day. It suits anyone who likes globes and flight maps and wants a puzzle that takes a couple of minutes.
