---

Have you ever tried to guess a country just with clues about its location and geographical data?

If the answer is no, get ready to get addicted. Worldle (yes, with an extra “L”) is an online game that challenges your geographical knowledge in a creative and surprisingly fun way. The idea is simple, but it requires reasoning: guess correctly one of the 195 countries in the world based on clues that are released with each attempt.

For those who enjoy geography, maps, or simply want a quick challenge for the brain, Worldle delivers all of this in just a few minutes — and the best part: you also learn while playing. But can you guess the country in less than 10 attempts?

How to play Worldle? (Step-by-step guide)

The gameplay of Worldle is intuitive and challenging — perfect for those looking for a quick but smart challenge. Even if you're not an expert in geography, you'll be surprised at how much you learn while trying. Here is what you need to know to play in the best way:

1. Make your first guess

Start typing the name of any country in the world. The game has autocomplete, so even if you don't remember exactly how to spell it, it will suggest options.

2. Receive the clues

As soon as you make your guess, Worldle shows a line with comparisons between your guess and the correct country, divided into several categories. With each new attempt, new clues emerge, bringing you closer to the answer.

How to interpret the hints from Worldle?

Each guess generates a set of hints with colors, arrows, and texts. Understanding these elements well is the key to improving your performance:

Colors and meanings:

• 🟩 Green: You hit the nail on the head! The characteristic is identical to that of the correct country. For example: Same continent, similar approximate population, or same hemisphere.
• 🟨 Yellow: You're on the right track. There are partial similarities. For example:
  • If it's "Population" or "Area", it will show with an arrow:
    • ⬆️ → The correct country has a larger population or area
    • ⬇️ → The correct country has a smaller population or area
  • If it's "Borders" or "Oceans", it means there is some overlap (e.g., they share a sea or a neighbor).
• ⬜ or 🟥 (Gray/Red): Totally wrong. There is no correspondence between the guess and the answer in that category.

Comparison categories:

• Continent: Indicates if the country is in the same continental region.
• Population: Comparison between the number of inhabitants of the two countries.
• Area (km²): Compares the territorial size.
• Hemisphere: North, South, East, or West.
• Oceans/Seas: Shows if both have coastlines on similar seas.
• Borders: Indicates if the countries are neighbors or share land borders.
• Tags: Cultural, political, or regional suggestions (e.g., “Middle East”, “European Union”, “Sub-Saharan Africa”).

Use the logic: each guess is a step.

The big idea of Worldle is not to know the country on the first guess — it's to interpret the clues well and eliminate possibilities with each new guess. With colors, arrows, and data, you can devise a logical strategy to arrive at the correct country before the 10th attempt.

Quick tip: if your second guess has many upward arrows, the correct country might be something like Russia, Canada, China, or the USA — countries with a large area or population. Now, if all the arrows are downward, you might be dealing with a small archipelago or a micro-nation.
