Word Grid
Guess the hidden country name in five tries.
What it is
A word game where the hidden word is always a country. You have five guesses, and every guess has to be a real country name of the right length.
How to play
- The board shows one row per guess and one tile per letter, so the number of tiles tells you how long the country's name is.
- Type a country of that length and press Enter.
- Each tile flips to show how close you were:
| Tile | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | Right letter, right position |
| Gold | That letter is in the country's name, but somewhere else |
| Grey | Not in the name at all |
The on-screen keyboard colours itself as you go, so you can see at a glance which letters are ruled out. Solve it within five guesses and the country is revealed on the map behind the board.
Daily and practice
The daily word is the same for everyone and changes at midnight. Practice deals a random country every time, with a New word button after each round.
Tips
Spend the first guess on vowel coverage rather than a hunch. Country names lean heavily on A and I, think of how many end in -IA or -ANIA. A five-letter guess like CHINA or INDIA tests four common letters at once. Also remember that spaces don't appear: a seven-letter answer could be one word or the run-together letters of a shorter compound.
