Misplaced (FlightQ)

About Misplaced (FlightQ)

Misplaced is a FlightQ daily map puzzle about knowing where cities sit. Each round shows a region drawn from Natural Earth coastlines, borders, lakes and rivers, with five labelled city pins. Four are right and one is not. You compare the pins with the coastlines, borders and each other, select the one that looks wrong and drag its pin or name to where the city really is, panning and zooming as needed.

When you lock in, the map shows your placement and the true location together, with the distance and score. Finding the misplaced city earns 20 points, and placing it within 5 km earns the full 80 for accuracy, losing a point for each further 10 km. Choosing a city that was already correct scores zero. Five rounds make a total out of 500, with no time limit.

A new five-round puzzle arrives at midnight Eastern, the same for all players, and your first completed score counts. Yesterday's puzzle is free in the archive, with older days for premium members. Shared results show your score and five coloured squares without the answers.

Tips

• Check coastal cities first: a port drawn inland is an easy giveaway.
• Use the correct pins as anchors to judge distances for your placement.
• Zoom in before locking in: every 10 km beyond the first 5 costs a point.
• Rivers and lakes on the map often mark exactly where a city sits.
