What happens after 194 days?
There's that much different countries.
If you can remember 194 shapes over the span of 194 days then hats off to you :).

#53Is there a way to play previous day games? It's a bit sad when you just discover the game and can't try it out on 2/3 games.
Re: Worldle
#54Been playing this for the past few days.
Today's (17 Feb) is easy for me. But gosh, last few days were really tough, mostly countries that I'm not aware of or don't hear a lot.

Like all of these daily games, you can change your system date to get a new round.

#56When do you get a yellow square? I couldn't find this documented anywhere, so I took a look at the code.
Here's what I found: For each guess, Worldle calculates a proximity score from 0 to 100 -- higher is better. Each row is basically a quantized proximity score meter, from 0 to 100 in increments of 20. If you get at least half-way to the next increment of 20 (i.e. to the next green square), you get a yellow square, too.
Example: If your proximity score for a guess is 63, you'll get 3 green squares and two blank (white or black) squares, i.e. GGGBB. If your score is 71, you'll get three green squares, and since 71 is at least half-way to 80 (i.e. >= 70), you'll also get a yellow square, so GGGYB.
The proximity score is round(100*(MAX_DISTANCE_ON_EARTH - d)/MAX_DISTANCE_ON_EARTH). Though that max distance is defined to be 20,000,000.
This is the important part: https://github.com/teuteuf/worldle/blob/67db30bdf79c0965c19a...
Re: Worldle
#57This was great! Thanks for putting this together.
Re: Worldle
#58Is it cheating to look at a map? I got a very nearby country so I looked to see what was around it which shows the shape quite clearly. I guess as an educational tool, it’s still very good that way. I now know how those countries are geographically related, in an area I don’t know very well.
Re: Worldle
#59I was extremely confused about the distance values in relation to the percentages until I read the help: > The distances displayed correspond to the distances between the selected and the target territory centers. > For instance, the computed distance between United States and Canada is around 2260km even if they have a common border. That's extremely deceptive and non-obvious unless you read through the documentatio…
What is the center of the US anyways? Does it include Alaska and Guam?
Great question! Is it the center of a convex hull containing the extent of territories? Or would you weight it by population? Is it in two dimensions on the surface of the Earth, or in three dimensions?
Consider the possible “center” of France. There’s probably some village in France proper with a monument, but unless you eject Guiana and Réunion I think it must be in the Atlantic somewhere.

If it’s coded like wordle you can just change system date and do the other puzzles.
