Wheredle drops you into a Google Street View scene somewhere in the United States and asks which state you are in. You look around and move along the road for clues, then have seven guesses, each wrong one answered with an arrow toward the right state. It runs on locations sent in by players.
About Wheredle
Wheredle is a Wordle-like daily geography game made by Amber Sah. Each day's puzzle opens on a Google Street View panorama: a city block, a rural road or a small-town street somewhere in the United States.
You can turn the view, zoom and move along the road to hunt for clues. Licence plates, road signs, shop names, architecture, vegetation and the weather all help. When you think you know, you choose a state from the drop-down and submit it. You have seven tries: a right guess shows a green square, a wrong one a yellow square and an arrow pointing in the direction of the answer, such as north-east or south-west. At the end you can share your row of squares and arrows.
The game says it has had more than 500,000 players and over six million plays, and that it now runs on user submissions: players send in locations by email. There are no ads and no sign-up before play. A help button explains the rules, and the page notes that content blockers on Safari can stop the map from loading.
It suits GeoGuessr fans who want one quick round a day limited to the US, and anyone who likes reading small details in a scene.

Tips
- Licence plates and road sign styles narrow the state fastest.
- Look at the vegetation and terrain to tell desert, plains and coast apart.
- Shop and business names often include a town or state.
- Use the direction arrow after a miss to rule out whole regions at once.
