How to play Guess the flag
A flag is shown — name its country. Wrong answers are not wasted: each one tells you how far away the right country is, in which direction, and what it has in common.
How a round works
- Type any flag and pick it from the suggestions.
- The tiles compare your guess with the mystery flag: green is a match, amber is close, arrows point toward the answer.
- The case file keeps score of everything you have proved. The picture sharpens after each guess.
The clues
- Region: amber when only the continent matches
- Area: arrows show if the answer is higher or lower
- Language: amber when some values are shared
- Distance: distance and compass direction to the answer
Questions
- How many flags can come up?
- 194 flags can be guessed, so rounds rarely repeat.
- What do the colors mean?
- Green means that detail matches the answer exactly. Amber means it is close: a shared value, the same continent or a number within 25%. Arrows point toward the answer — up means the answer is bigger or later.
- What is the case file?
- The panel next to the picture collects everything your guesses have proved about the mystery flag: details you have matched, values you have ruled out and the range a number must be in.
- What if I cannot spell the flag?
- Start typing and pick from the suggestions. They tolerate typos, so a misspelled flag still turns up.
- How many guesses do I get?
- 8. The picture of the answer gets sharper after each wrong guess.
