Locatle

Locatle is a daily geography game in the Wordle mould. It shows one street-level photo and asks a single question: which country was it taken in? The same photo is set for everyone each day, numbered in sequence (Locatle #1 was set on 4 June 2022, and the puzzle on 19 October 2026 was #1598), and the pictures come from Mapillary street imagery.

You type the name of a country and guess. After each guess the game shows the distance between the photo's real location and the centre of the country you named, so a smaller number means you are getting warmer. From those distance clues you close in on the answer, with six guesses in all.

There are no pins or maps to drag: you read the scene and name a country, and the only feedback is the distance. When you finish you can share your result as a list of distances, in the familiar Wordle style.

The game draws each day's picture from a fixed set of 1,533 photos and works through them in order, so from puzzle #1533 in August 2026 it began showing the 2022 photos again. A player who started recently will not notice, but a player from the first year may meet a scene they have seen before.

It suits people who like street-view geography and spotting a country from signs, road markings, architecture and landscape. It runs in the browser on a phone or a desktop, is free, has no ads and needs no account; your guesses for the day are kept in the browser.
