Countryle
Identify a mystery country by comparing its geography with the countries you guess.
Read one row at a time
Type a country, select it from the list, then submit your guess. The row compares that country with the target by hemisphere, continent, average temperature, population, and coordinates.
Use the continent and hemisphere to narrow the map. Compare population and temperature to rule out nearby countries that seem plausible, then use the coordinate clue to choose your next guess.
A country can share the target’s continent and still be on the wrong side of the equator. Likewise, two nearby countries can differ sharply in population. Keep a clue that matches as a constraint for the next row.
Try a clue grid
This sample uses a fixed practice puzzle. Which candidate fits all three clues?
| Clue | What you know |
|---|---|
| Continent | Africa |
| Hemisphere | South of the equator |
| Coordinates | East of mainland Africa |
Madagascar
Correct. The island lies in the Indian Ocean east of mainland Africa and south of the equator.
Morocco
Morocco matches Africa, but it is north of the equator.
Namibia
Namibia matches the continent and hemisphere, but it is on the southwest coast of mainland Africa.
Choose a second guess that tests a clue
If a guess in Africa matches the continent but misses the hemisphere, cross the equator with the next guess. If the region already looks right, choose a country with a different population or climate. Keep the clues that match so you can compare both rows.
