Hey there HN, I took a page from Wordle's mechanisms and made this game for fun for some friends and I.

Check out Wheredle and let me know what you think of it!

At first i thought this was similar to GeoGuessr, but actually it’s a lot better (GeoGuessr i often have absolutely no idea where the location is)

You could probably make a really popular game out of this

Hey thanks for checking it out. And yeah, I feel the same way about GeoGuessr; I initially wanted to make this a country guessing game but the problem space was too large to play fast and with success.

If this does become popular I'll add your comment as a testimonial in the about page.

you could also add custom user-created games like GeoGuessr, e.g. all the landmarks in a local city or Swiss countries
