I don't understand how this works? It had a picture of _____, and the correct answer was ______. Is it just guessing the country name based on the shape?

edit - hid my answer in case it wasn't as obvious to others.

I didn't make this, just found it interesting as a geography nerd. I'm not sure if the author is on HN or not

It's a bit frustrating that it changes daily, the first country was too easy so I missed out on all the mechanics and now I have to wait until tomorrow to try again.

Awesome. It might get boring after 194 days though.

Globle is another daily geography game: https://globle-game.com/

It seems very buggy.

- lots of country guesses raise an error saying it doesn't exist. Such as "brasil".

- if you zoom on the map, there are flashings of the underlying map layer with country names...

- I got to find the exact match of "French Guiana (France)"...
