Worldle Online

Free web app for testing geography skills

Worldle is a free-to-use trivia web app that lets you guess the country’s outline. This geography program based on Wordle is fairly straightforward: you are given six chances to guess the mystery country whose silhouette is displayed on top. After a guess, you are given the distance and direction of your guess, which you can then use as a reference.

Worldle is one of the emerging variations of the increasingly popular word-based puzzle that you no longer need to install on your device. Other options for web app puzzles include Words With Friends and Agario.

Simple, straightforward map test

As soon as you arrive at the Worldle page, you’ll be greeted with a random shape that corresponds to the map of a real-world country or territory. Then, the fields for your guess are revealed one at a time. After entering an answer, the app computes how close your guess is to the mystery location, indicating the distance and the direction.

There are other features that help you understand the rather minimalist layout of the web app. On the upper left side, you’ll find a detailed tutorial on how to play the game. Meanwhile, the other end shows you the settings. This section allows you to choose the theme of the page as well as the measurement unit for the distance displayed. 

If you’re looking for more challenges, you can set it to make your life harder by hiding the country image or rotating the provided map. Unfortunately, like the word game it is based on, you can only play one map per day. Even if you make changes to the settings, they will only apply for the next day and don’t change the existing map for the day.

A treat for cartophiles

For fans of maps and mapmaking, Worldle is a great addition to your daily routine. You get six tries to guess what the mysterious country for the day is. Whether your guess is closer or farther than the previous answer. Its simple interface and design make sure that you’re only there to do what it intends you to do.
