Daily Country Challenge
Six tries to guess today's mystery country. After each guess you get a distance and a direction — like Worldle, but free and ad-light.
How to play
Name the mystery country in six guesses. Every wrong guess tells you how far away the answer is and in which direction, so each miss narrows the search. Start with a large, central country to get a useful first bearing, then follow the arrows.
A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight UTC and everyone gets the same one, so you can compare results with friends or a class without spoilers. Solving today's puzzle keeps your streak alive.
