How to play

Name the country or territory from its outline in six guesses. Choose a name from the suggestions or type a recognized alias such as USA or UK.
Each guess shows the great-circle distance and compass direction from its representative geographic point to the answer’s point. These are approximate point-to-point distances, not distances between borders.
The outline keeps its north-up orientation. Natural Earth supplies a fixed map collection, including some territories; very small places are absent at this scale. Use a continent hint when you need it.

Progress and friendly competition

Daily challenges use the New York date and your device’s clock. If a game is open over midnight, it stays on that puzzle and offers a link to the new day. Practice is always available.
