Statle

There's a mystery state. Guess any state and the map shows how close you are: pale means far away, red means hot, and dark red means it shares a border. Play as many rounds as you like.

How to play

  • Type a state or tap it on the map to guess.
  • Each guess shows how far it is from the mystery state, measured border to border, and an arrow pointing toward it.
  • Neighbors of the mystery state turn dark red. Keep going until you find it. Fewer guesses is better.
  • Every game picks a new random state. Hit New game any time to start over.

Distances are the shortest straight-line distance between the two states' borders, in miles. Arrows point from the middle of your guess toward the middle of the mystery state. State boundaries: US Census Bureau, via us-atlas (ISC license).
