Worldle

A country is reduced to its outline, filled in black on a white board, and you name it in six guesses. The prompt is careful about the answer pool, asking for the country or territory, and the board carries a selector at the top reading "Country" with arrows either side of it, so the silhouette is one of several things the site can ask you about. Around that single shape sits a whole apparatus: a numbered daily, an archive, a practice mode, leagues, a streak calendar and a create mode still marked beta.

1. Look at the silhouette. No scale, no labels, no surrounding coastline, just the outline of the day's country or territory.
2. Type a name into the field above the shape and submit it. The counter under the board reads GUESS 1 / 6 and marks how much of the allowance you have spent.
3. Answer again with what the previous attempt told you: the site's own summary of the game is that every attempt comes back with clues.
4. Close the run out inside six, or carry on into the side menu, where Archive, Practice mode, Challenge, Leagues and the Streak Calendar all live.

Stripping a country down to its silhouette is a purer test than it sounds, because the mental image most of us carry is a map with names and neighbours on it, not a black shape floating alone. Six guesses is generous enough to work in, and the refusal of unrecognised names means the only thing that ever costs you is a real, wrong country. What keeps people coming back is everything hung around that one shape: the streak calendar, the leagues, the archive to binge, the beta board maker, plus apps on both stores if you would rather not play it in a tab.

Six slots and a strict door policy. A name the game does not recognise is thrown out with an "Unknown country!" banner and, importantly, costs nothing: after two junk entries the counter still read GUESS 1 / 6. Only a real country or territory is graded, and the site states that each of those attempts returns clues to work with. Distances are part of the picture: the game keeps a distance-unit preference, kilometres or miles, among its stored settings.

• Spell freely. An unrecognised entry is refused with "Unknown country!" and does not eat a guess, so there is no penalty for trying a name you are unsure how to write.
• Do not limit yourself to UN member states. The prompt asks for the country or territory, so an island fragment or a dependency is a legitimate answer.
• If the plain outline feels too easy, the game keeps settings for a rotation mode and an image-free mode, plus a switch between kilometres and miles.
