There are many great guessing games out there on a huge variety of topics. One popular guessing game is called Worldle. In this game, you are tasked with guessing a country from its outline. You are given 6 turns in order to do this and you must follow the clues on screen in order to find the hidden answer. In this article, I will be going more into depth on what Worldle is and on how to play it.
How to Play Worldle?
As stated above, Worldle is a popular country guessing game. You can access it from the official site with this link here.
Once there, you will immediately see the outline of a random country. Unless you happen to recognise the country, you must start making guesses. If you don’t know the answer, simply start by entering in any country that comes to mind.
After making your first guess, the game will give you several useful clues. The first clue is the distance your guess was from the country on screen. Next to that distance is an arrow. This indicates the latitude of your guess in relation to the country on screen. For example, if you guessed France and the answer was Egypt, the arrow would point towards the South-East.
Lastly, you will also see a percentage next to the arrow. This percentage also indicates the distance of your guess from the hidden answer. If it was on the exact opposite side of the world, the distance would be near 0%. If you were right next to the answer, the percentage would be very close to 100.
It is important to make use of all these clues when making a guess. Use the arrow to determine what direction the hidden country is in. Then, use the percentage and distance to make an estimation of the answer’s whereabouts. Continue to do this and hopefully you will find the answer in under 6 turns.
At the end of the six turns, the game will say whether you win or lose. After this, you will have to wait until the next day for Worldle to reset and for there to be a new country to guess.
Tips for Worldle
One of the best tips for Worldle is simply to use all the clues to your best ability. Once you make your first guess, pay close attention to the distance and arrows. Use the arrow to work out the direction the country is in, and use the distance marker to work out the rough area of the hidden answer.
The next tip is to work on gaining a good grasp of kilometres and of how far, for example, 1,000 kilometres is on a map. You can improve a lot in this by simply playing the game as much as possible. Make sure to pay attention to how far your guesses are from the target when playing.
Lastly, it is of course very useful just to study a world map. By doing so, you will see all the shapes of the countries around the world. The more you acquaint yourself with countries on a world map, the easier the game will become. You may even find yourself knowing the answers straight away if you do this enough.
Worldle Bonus Round #1
After you finish the main game of Worldle, you may still find yourself itching for more. If that is the case, then the Worldle’s bonus rounds are perfect for you.
The first bonus round requires you to guess the outlines of three border countries. The border countries are related to the previous game’s answer. For example, if the hidden answer was India in the main game of Worldle, your task would be to guess three of it’s border countries.
The rules in the bonus round are a bit different. Firstly, you only have 5 chances to make a guess. In addition, there are no clues to rely on when you make your guess other than knowing which country the outlines border. As a result, this can be quite difficult if you are unfamiliar with the particular world region.
It is in rounds like this, that having studied a world map proves to be particularly useful!
Worldle Bonus Round #2
After getting to the end of the first bonus round, yet another one will appear.
This bonus round asks you to guess the capital city of the daily hidden answer. This time you only have 3 guesses. The only thing available to help you is a list that appears of all the national capitals from A to Z. If you have no idea what the answer could be, you have no choice but to guess or to look up the answer.
Worldle Bonus Round #3
The game will now direct you onto a final bonus round. This round involves guessing the flag of the daily answer. You will be shown 8 different flags and one of them is the correct answer.
Thankfully, you have 3 turns to find the answer. This means that you have a considerable chance of guessing the right answer even if you are unsure.
The best strategy for this game is to eliminate the answers that you do know. If the daily country was India and you recognise the national flag of France or Italy, you can obviously rule them out. This should allow you to whittle down the possibilities and hopefully to ascertain the correct response within 3 turns.
This article should have given you a good idea of what Worldle is and of how to play it. In summary, it is an entertaining country guessing game that is a must play for those wanting to test or to improve their geography knowledge. With a new game every day along with multiple bonus rounds, it is sure to keep you entertained.
