If you’ve had your fill of the viral brainteaser Wordle, there’s now a new version of the game for geography lovers.

Similar to the original, Worldle players are given six chances to guess the name of a country after being shown a map outline.

After each guess, players are shown the distance, directions, and the proximity of their guess in relation to the correct country.

Okay, Wordle is fun, but what about WorLdle? \n\nEveryday, guess a new country! :D\n\nWorldle #3 X/6\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://worldle.teuteuf.fr

Wordle is fine, but a quiz where you figure out what the country is by its outline is where it's truly at\n\n#Worldle #24 1/6\n\nhttps://worldle.teuteuf.fr

Another Worldle country is generated each day, but if you crave another geography challenge there is another one you can enjoy.

Globle is a little different in that you can click around the world and use it to help your guesses.

You’re not given any clues at first, and must start typing in country names to see how close you are to the right answer.
