How to play Place

You're shown the silhouette of a country — just its shape, no labels. You have six guesses to name it.

After each guess

If you're wrong, you get three hints about where the answer is, relative to your guess:

Distance — the great-circle distance in kilometres.
Direction — an arrow pointing from your guess toward the answer (N, NE, E, …).
Proximity — a percentage and colour: the greener and closer to 100%, the nearer you are.

Guess the exact country to win. After the game you can share a spoiler-free grid of your result — coloured squares and arrows, no country names.

No idea and want the answer? Hit Give up (tap twice to confirm) — the game ends and reveals the country. It counts as a loss for the day.

A new country appears each day. Everyone gets the same puzzle. Missed a day? The archive has every past puzzle.
