Worldle - Because There's More to Life than Word Games

Today was another fairly straightforward one giving current events. It helps when the country has been dominant in the news cycle within the last few years.

Yep.

Still took me 4 guesses -- my ego demands I cite lack of caffeine.

June 3: Dangit.

Yeah, today was a tough one for me. I had the right continent immediately but then it is just about racking my brain to think of every costal country and trying to place it. I really just need to spend some time studying the map and compensate for all my Western schooling.

Agree. My one saving grace today is we taught a really cool guy from there when I was a missionary so it's one of my not-complete-blind-spots. But it wasn't my first guess once I zeroed in on that part of the world, either, so it was still largely a guess.

Saturday, June 04: Again, I got it on my very first “guess.” Without consulting a map or a globe, I might add.

Got it in two, but it was an educated guess rather than knowledge. The flag helped, but I didn't realize it was more than one landmass which is why I didn't guess it first. The bit to the left is what I thought of as the country.

Was geography your favorite subject in school? One of my younger brothers had a knack for geography, where he was on the school team that competed in the district geography competition. I sent him this game when I found it and he immediately said, "haven't done much vexillology, so this will be good."

I, of course, had to look up vexillology.
