Locabulary

Locabulary hides one mystery country each day and asks you to find it by chaining countries together. You can start with any country. After that, you tap a letter in the current country's name and then name a country that begins with that letter, so every step in the chain is tied to the one before it by spelling.

Each country you add is shown on an interactive world map, and the game tells you how close its first letter is to the first letter of the mystery country: within 2 letters, within 6 letters, or over 6 away. As the chain grows, further clues can show the mystery country's first letter and its continent. The fewer countries you need, the better your score, so the puzzle is as much about choosing the right letter to jump from as about knowing the map.

The day's country changes at midnight by the player's own clock, and past challenges can be replayed from the archive. The site has a page for teachers with a five-minute, projector-friendly routine and printable handouts. It is free, shows no ads and needs no account. Locabulary is made by InBloom, a small New Zealand studio that puts learning first, and its archive goes back to October 2025.

When you finish, the results panel keeps your streak and gives you a spoiler-safe result to share. Each day also has its own hints page for players who get stuck.
