TerraDex is a set of short geography puzzles that renew at midnight, numbered and the same for every player. You find a country by counting land borders on a spinning globe, name a city from the real terrain around it, weigh countries by population and more. Six puzzles are free each day in the browser, and five of them make the day's Expedition and keep your streak.
About TerraDex
TerraDex, by Merciless Studio, gathers twelve small geography games under one daily number. Puzzle No. 1 came out on 11 June 2026, and each puzzle is worked out from the date itself, so every player meets the same country or city that day.
In Borderly you spin a globe and guess countries. Each one lights up with how many land borders separate it from the mystery country, or says there is no land route at all, and you have six guesses. Altile shows a shaded 3D survey of the real terrain around a hidden city, with an altitude tape that reads off each guess. Popscale has you weigh countries by population, Bannerly works from a close crop of a flag, Capitale is about capitals and Streetle about a city's streets.
The other six (Clockle, Sundle, Contourle, Skyle, Spirele and Climatle) belong to TerraDex Plus, a subscription or one-off purchase in the Android app. Each of them can be played free once a week, and the menu marks which are open. Plus also adds the full archive, endless practice and unlimited tips.
The free six are free for good. Finishing five of them completes the day's Expedition, fills a ring on the menu and moves you up explorer tiers such as Wanderer and Pathfinder. The browser version needs no account and shows no ads. The Android app adds reminders and offline play, and its free version has ads.
It suits players who like Globle or Travle and want several different map puzzles in one sitting.
How to play TerraDex
- Open TerraDex and press Play today's puzzles to see the twelve games of the day.
- Pick a game and read its one-line clue at the top, such as border hops in Borderly or terrain in Altile.
- Type a country or city into the box and pick it from the list. Each miss shows how far off it was.
- Use that feedback to close in before your guesses run out (six in Borderly and Altile).
- Finish five games to complete the Expedition and keep your streak, then share the result.

Tips
- In Borderly a guess on another continent shows No route. Use that to rule out whole landmasses early.
- Altile's altitude tape places each guessed city by height, so a coastal guess and a highland guess together narrow the answer fast.
- Clock and daylight puzzles come down to longitude and latitude. Think in time zones and seasons.
- Plus games marked Free this week can be played once at no cost, so try them before the week turns.
