Country of the Day

Wordle, but every answer is a country. Guess it in 6 tries. Each guess colors the letters, and tells you how far that country is from the answer and which way to go.

How to play

The tiles show how many letters the country has. A gap means the name is more than one word. Spaces and dashes don't count, so you can guess any country with the same number of letters.
Green: right letter, right spot. Yellow: the letter is in the name, somewhere else. Gray: not in the name.
Under each guess you'll see how far that country is from the answer and an arrow pointing toward it. After 3 misses, we tell you the continent.
A new country every day, the same for everyone. Share your result and compare.

Distances are measured between the middle of each country's main landmass, in miles. Country shapes: Natural Earth, via world-atlas.
