Geodle: daily geography game

Geodle is a daily geography game about identifying a hidden mystery country. You get seven guesses, and every country you enter is compared against the answer across six attribute categories. Instead of pointing at a map or naming a flag, you narrow things down using facts like continent, population, and average temperature.

What is Geodle?

Each round centers on one hidden country. You type a real country name into the search box, submit it, and the game shows you how your guess lines up with the answer across six categories: Continent, Population, Landlocked status, Religion, Average Temperature, and Government. The feedback works in the familiar Wordle style. A green box means that category is an exact match with the answer, and a red box means it is not. For numeric attributes like population and temperature, the game shows an up or down arrow to tell you whether the answer is higher or lower than the country you guessed, which lets you close in over successive tries. You have seven guesses to land on the right country.

What makes Geodle different from other geography guessing games is that it never asks you to recognize a shape, a location, or a flag. Worldle hands you a country outline to identify, and Globle rewards you for guessing countries that are physically near the target on a globe. Geodle instead treats each country as a bundle of data. You are reasoning about demographics and physical facts, not spatial memory, so the skill it exercises is closer to trivia recall and logical elimination than to map reading. That makes it a good fit for players who enjoy knowing facts about countries even if they are shaky on exactly where everything sits on the map.

The game was made by Muhashi, and it is open source: the code lives in the muhashi/geodle repository on GitHub and is released under the CC0-1.0 license, so anyone can read or reuse it. It runs in the browser at geodle.me and is free to play, with a new country puzzle released every day. Hovering over any hint box after a guess shows the underlying data for the country you entered, which is useful both for solving the current puzzle and for learning the real figures. Because everyone gets the same country on a given day, it works well as a shared daily habit you can compare with friends.

How to play Geodle

Open Geodle at geodle.me in your browser.
Type the name of a real country into the search box and select it.
Submit your guess and read the feedback across the six categories: Continent, Population, Landlocked status, Religion, Average Temperature, and Government.
Use the up and down arrows on population and temperature, and the green or red category matches, to rule countries out.
Hover over any hint box to see the underlying data for the country you guessed.
Keep refining your guesses until you name the hidden country, within your seven attempts.

Tips and strategy

Open with a large, well-known country so several categories return useful information at once.
Treat Population and Average Temperature like number-guessing: each up or down arrow cuts the field roughly in half.
Once Continent is confirmed, restrict every later guess to countries on that continent.
Use the Landlocked status clue early, since it quickly separates coastal nations from interior ones.
Hover over the hint boxes to read the exact data, so you learn the real figures instead of guessing blindly.
Track which attributes you have already pinned down so you do not waste a guess re-testing something you know.

Yes. Geodle is free to play in the browser at geodle.me, and its source code is openly available under a CC0-1.0 license.

How do you play Geodle?

You have seven guesses to identify a hidden country. Each guess you enter is compared to the answer across six categories (continent, population, landlocked status, religion, average temperature, and government), and the feedback helps you narrow down the answer.

When does Geodle reset?

A new country puzzle is released every day, so there is a fresh challenge each day.

Is Geodle like Wordle?

It borrows the daily format and the colored feedback, but instead of letters you guess countries, and instead of one word the clues span six geographic and demographic attributes. It is closer to a deduction game than a spelling game.

Who made Geodle?

It was made by Muhashi, whose code for the game is public in the muhashi/geodle GitHub repository.
