I can't anymore. The fragmentation of Africa would make it very difficult. I would need to study them again.
Would also have a bit of a problem now with Europe. I grew up with countries such as YUGOSLAVIA and CZECHOSLOVAKIA, all fragmented now. I don't know anymore if the Czech Republic is North of Slovakia or parallel.
Would most likely mislabel the Baltics states, most certainly the Balkans.

I don't play either, but in Europe I'd be better than elsewhere. When I said I could find every country I didn't mean without labels at all. I know where St Lucia and Barbados are, but not which is north and which south. :)

The kids shower curtain is a world "map" so I always send them to shower when it's not an obvious one. Youngest makes us guess Turkey first most of the time regardless of what it looks like.

Today's one is appropriate for what tournament was just held :)

I wouldn’t get most of them without the hints you get after your first guess.

I refuse to play Wordle because I know, like Ponchi's lady, I'd be lost forever.

My mom's regular job is a Physicians Assistant so she is pretty busy with that. I guess Wordle gives her a hobby other than taking me everywhere or when my older brothers won't. :lol:

If you like Worldle, you'll probably also enjoy Globle.

Is Globle where you study different globs of things? All different consistencies of globs? I think I would like that a lot. When I was younger I always loved playing with slime. :lol:

All these games alone aren't too bad if you stick to one a day.

The problem is when you start doing so many of them :) I caved and made a folder in my browser bookmarks with them all and just do em in order now.

Some other ones we enjoy are Heardle (plays 1 second, then 2 seconds, then 4 seconds of a song - you have to guess song) and Framed - it shows you six movie stills, you guess the movie...with each becoming a bit more "obvious." We also liek Quordle which is like doing four Wordles at once. You get nine guesses but your guess counts for each of the four boards at the same time.

The only online phone game I play is Best Fiends and that is when I have time for it.

I want to know about all of these games, please. :) I love Quordle. And yes, they are bookmarked and I do them all at the same time every day. Either with morning coffee or at lunch. Or when I am procrastinating.

Edit: Found Lewdle, which is dirty Wordle.
