If you're addicted to Wordle you should try 'Worldle' - its geography alternative

If you've been hanging around social media in the past few months, you'll know that one word app has been taking off so much so people have been sharing their daily scores to their feed and creating videos of them trying to solve the puzzle.

But now the app has an alternative game - and it's all to do with geography.

Wordle has been popular among everyone of all ages and was created by Josh Wardle - a web developer from Brooklyn.

The game has surged in popularity after its launch in October 2021 that The New York Times decided to purchased it outright.

However it was trending again today on Twitter after many complained about the 'Word of the day' stating it was "impossible" to guess asking if is "even a word."

Which is why your streak would have been reset.

But now a new alternative could soon become just as popular - and it's not hard to see why.

Worldle is similar to its sister game however rather than guessing a word, you guess a location.

The game is just as popular as Wordle. (Worldle.)

The country will appear black and the player must guess each country or territory.

After each guess, you will see a distance displayed by your answer to help guide you along the right lines.

You will have six chances to guess the correct location and each distances displayed corresponds to the distances between your chosen destination and the correct location.

For example, if you guess Chile and it comes up with 13557km and 32%, it means that "your guess is 13557km away from the target country, the target country is in the North-East direction and you have a only 32% of proximity because it's quite far away!" according to the game itself.
