How to Play Japandle?
The gameplay is intuitive and challenging, perfect for casual and expert players. Follow the steps:
- Make Your Guess: Start by typing the name of one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. A list of suggestions will help you avoid spelling errors.
- Analyze the Clues: After each guess, the game will reveal a line of results, comparing your guess with the secret prefecture across various categories.
- Decipher the Colors:
- 🟩 Green: Perfect! The feature of your guess is identical to that of the secret prefecture.
- 🟨 Yellow: You're on the right track! For categories like “Main Lines” and “Tags,” this means there is at least one common feature, but not all. For “Population” and “Area,” the arrows (⬆️ or ⬇️) indicate whether the value of the secret prefecture is higher or lower.
- 🟥 Red/Grey: Incorrect. The information does not match that of the prefecture of the day.
- Use Logic: With each new attempt, use the clues you've already discovered to eliminate possibilities and get closer to the correct answer.
Understanding the Categories of Tips
- Region and Coast: Geographic clues essential for helping you locate yourself on the map. Knowing if a province has access to the sea or which of the eight regions it belongs to is a great step.
- Population and Area (km²): Numerical tips that help differentiate large and populous provinces, like Tokyo, from the smaller and more rural ones. The upward arrow (⬆️) indicates that the correct value is greater, and the downward arrow (⬇️) indicates that it is less.
- Main Lines and Tags: The cultural heart of the game! Discover which train lines serve the region and which cultural “tags” define it – is it famous for onsen, ramen, temples, or snow? These tips are the key to victory.
