Daily Geography Puzzles

Two free puzzles a day, the same for every player. In Daily Country Shape you name one country from its outline in six guesses, with distance and direction hints after each miss. Daily Higher or Lower gives you ten comparisons from one category, from country populations to the size of galaxies.

Both reset at midnight in your own time zone. There is no account and no timer: your progress, statistics and streaks stay in this browser, and you can share a result that never gives the answer away.

Today’s puzzles

New puzzles every day at midnight

How the daily puzzles work

  • One puzzle per game per day. Puzzle #1 was October 1, 2026, and the number goes up by one each day. Everyone who plays on the same date gets the same puzzle.
  • New puzzles at midnight, local time. The day follows the clock on your device. A page left open past midnight keeps its puzzle until you choose the new one.
  • Progress is saved as you play. Close the page and come back later the same day to carry on where you left off.
  • Streaks. Daily Country Shape counts the days in a row on which you solved the outline; Daily Higher or Lower counts the days in a row on which you finished all ten rounds. Missing a day starts the streak again.
  • Sharing. Share sends your result as coloured squares, using your device’s share sheet or the clipboard. It shows how you did, never the answer.

A shared Daily Country Shape result looks like this, with one line per guess: five squares for how close the guess was, then an arrow toward the answer.

Daily Country Shape

Each day shows the outline of one of 197 countries, north up and resized to fit. Type a country to guess; suggestions appear as you type. Every wrong guess shows how far it is from the answer, an arrow pointing toward the answer and a proximity score, where 100% is the answer itself. The order of countries is shuffled, and none repeats until all 197 have come up.

Play Daily Country Shape

Daily Higher or Lower

Each day plays ten comparisons from one category, following this rotation. Every round counts and a wrong answer does not end the game, so your score is out of 10.

  1. Country population195 countries · World Bank, 2025
  2. Mountain heights32 mountains · National mapping, park and tourism agencies and UNESCO
  3. Country area194 countries · World Bank, 2023
  4. Scale of the universe69 objects · NASA and other cited references
  5. Building heights32 buildings · CTBUH / The Skyscraper Center
  6. Life expectancy195 countries · World Bank, 2024
  7. GDP per person182 countries · World Bank, 2025

If a category’s data cannot be loaded or is past its freshness limit, that day’s puzzle uses the scale of the universe instead, which ships with the game. Play Daily Higher or Lower

Frequently asked questions

What time do the daily puzzles reset?

At midnight in your own time zone. Players in different time zones move to the next puzzle at different moments, but everyone playing on the same calendar date gets the same one.

Do I need an account to keep my streak?

No. Your progress, statistics and streaks are stored in this browser’s local storage only. Clearing the site’s data, using a private window or switching to another device starts a fresh record.

Can I play an earlier puzzle?

Not yet: each page plays today’s puzzle. An unfinished puzzle can be finished until midnight; after that, the page starts the new day’s puzzle (a page left open keeps its puzzle until you choose the new one).

Are the daily puzzles free?

Yes. Like every game on floatygames, they are free to play in your browser with no sign-up.
