Here's a question for you: How many double-landlocked countries are there in the world? If you don't know the answer try guessing without looking it up! I know one of them was my near my first guess today, one of the Asian stans, probably only a small amount, about 5 maximum There are only two! The only reason I know is because I happened to be in one of those two countries a few years ago, and read about it whilst I was there (Liechtenstein, landlocked between Switzerland and Austria). You are correct the other one is Uzbekistan. |

I’m not having all this getting it right first time malarkey. Whether you’ve been there or not or spend every waking hour studying Atlas’ I’m convinced there’s foul play. Please say it isn’t so |

#Worldle #25 4/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 worldle.teuteuf.frI knew yesterday's country from looking at a map of it the day before. Today's was rather more difficult as I was convinced my first guess was right, only to be 12,000 kms away  |

Please say it isn’t so Just look at today's, the shape gives it away as a country with a river estuary on it's north East side, how many countries have the sea on the east side ? From the shape you know it's not the USA, Canada, or the Asian countries like Japan, China, Korea, Eastern African Countries possibly 1, you've almost narrowed it down to 1 or 2 continents, if you don't know what Australasia countries looks like. One of my Xmas presents I got this time was a book on Mauritius, Reunion and Rodriguez, so I know what they look like  |

I failed today, hit every single Island surrounding it, 92%-98% answers for 5 of my guesses😭
Edit: 2 of my guesses were the adjacent countries, the other 4 were its closest Islands

I gave it a shot today and got it in 3, but should have got it on the second.
#Worldle #25 3/6
🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
I’m not sure how good this game is. If you have an atlas I think you’d get this quickly, if you don’t you’d be struggling to ever get it. Let’s see.

I've played the game a couple of times and thought it was quite fun, but only because I particularly like geography. I got today's in 3 without looking at an atlas. I suspect it's not a game that you'd want to play every day for months, as there are less than 200 countries in the world so eventually you'd get to know all the shapes anyway without an atlas! |

Check out Billy big bollocks who remembers things over here. I still can't get my -stans straight 15 years after looking them up for the first time. Anyone played the geography games on sporcle? |

That’s the whole point of the game and the six guesses though isn’t it. If we could all remember things perfectly we’d all get it right first time 🙂 |
