What is Worldle? The daily country outline game, explained
Who made it, how a round works, what the bonus rounds ask, when it resets and what is free, in plain words.
Worldle is a free daily geography puzzle. It shows the outline of one country or territory, filled in black with nothing around it, and gives you six guesses to name it. It is the geography cousin of the five-letter word game whose name it echoes: one puzzle a day, shared by everyone, with feedback after each try.
Who makes it
Antoine Teuf, a French web developer, created Worldle in January 2022 as a side project. Today it belongs to Teuteuf Games, which is part of Habitual Publishing. The game is free to play in a browser, supported by advertising, and there are official apps for iPhone, iPad and Android.
How a round works
- Look at the silhouette and type a country.
- If you are wrong, the game shows how far your guess is from the answer, an arrow pointing toward it, and a percentage for how close you are.
- Use those clues to narrow it down. You have six guesses in all.
- Once you solve it, optional bonus rounds ask more about the same country, such as its neighbours, its capital and its flag.
When it resets, and what is free
A new Worldle appears at midnight in your device's own time zone, so friends in different countries change over at different moments. The daily puzzle is free. A free Teuteuf Games account saves your statistics across devices, and the archive of past puzzles is part of its paid Premium membership. The tips page explains how the distance, arrow and percentage are worked out.

No. They share a daily rhythm and a similar name, but Worldle is about country outlines and comes from a different, independent developer.
