Flagdle

Flagdle shows you a single national flag and asks one question: which country does it belong to? You have six guesses to name it. What keeps the game from being a simple lookup is the hint it gives after each miss, a percentage telling you how visually similar your guessed country's flag is to the one on screen.

What is Flagdle?

Flagdle is a daily geography guessing game built on the familiar Wordle format. Each day it shows one flag, and your job is to identify the country it represents within six tries. When you submit a guess, the game compares the flag of the country you named against the target flag and reports a score for how visually similar the two flags are. A high percentage means your guess belongs to a country whose flag looks a lot like the answer, which narrows the field considerably. That flag-similarity score is the core of the game and the thing that sets it apart from most flag puzzles.

It is worth being clear about what Flagdle is not, because the naming is crowded. The many Flagle-style games hide the flag behind a grid of tiles that you uncover over a handful of tries, so the puzzle is about recognizing a partially revealed image. Distance games like Worldle and Globle show you a country shape or take guesses and then point you toward the answer with mileage and compass direction. Flagdle does neither. It shows the full flag from the start and never hides it. Instead of geography-based distance, it grades you on visual resemblance between flags, so a country halfway around the world can be a strong hint if its flag shares colors and layout with the target.

The game runs entirely in the browser at flagdle.org, with no download or account required. It is one of several flag games that share the Flagdle name, and this one is commonly credited to a maker known as Nick H, though the site does not put that name front and center. There is one puzzle per day, and a new flag is set for the next day, so it plays as a short daily habit rather than a long sitting.

When you finish, Flagdle gives you a Wordle-style wrap-up. You can copy your result to the clipboard to share it, and the game keeps track of how you have done. The whole thing is quick: one flag per day, six guesses, and a similarity percentage after each one, which makes it easy to fit into a daily routine.

How to play Flagdle

1. Open Flagdle at flagdle.org in your browser.
2. Look at the flag shown at the top of the board and think about which country it belongs to.
3. Type a country name into the guess box and submit it as your first of six guesses.
4. Read the similarity percentage returned after each wrong guess to judge how close that country's flag is to the target.
5. Use that feedback to steer your next guess toward countries with more similar flags.
6. Keep guessing until you name the correct country or use all six attempts, then share your result.

Tips and strategy

• Start with a country whose flag has a distinctive, memorable design so its similarity score gives you a clear reference point.
• Treat the percentage as a flag-resemblance clue, not a geography clue: a high score means look for flags that share the same colors and layout, not neighboring countries.
• Pay attention to the dominant colors and the arrangement, such as horizontal bands, vertical bands, a canton, or a central emblem, since those drive the similarity score.
• If a guess scores very high but is wrong, cycle through other countries that use the same color scheme and structure before branching out.
• Rule out whole families of flags early: many Nordic flags share the offset cross, many Arab flags share red, white, black and green, and pan-African flags share red, yellow and green.
• Save a guess or two rather than spending all six quickly, because a couple of well-chosen comparisons often pin down the answer faster than random tries.

Flagdle FAQ

Is Flagdle free?

Yes. Flagdle runs directly in your browser at flagdle.org with no download and no account required.

How do you play Flagdle?

You are shown a country's flag and have six guesses to name the country. After each wrong guess, the game tells you how visually similar your guessed country's flag is to the target as a percentage, and you use that to close in on the answer.

When does Flagdle reset?

There is one puzzle per day, and a new flag is set the following day.

Is Flagdle like Wordle?

It shares Wordle's format of one daily puzzle, a fixed number of guesses, and a shareable result. The difference is the subject and the hint: you identify a country from its flag, and the feedback is a flag-similarity percentage rather than letter matches.
