One City today. Six guesses. Repeat.

How to play WorldleCity Daily

Each day at midnight UTC a brand-new mystery city is revealed. Your only clue is a single landmark photograph taken somewhere in that city. Study the architecture, the vegetation, the street signs, and the skyline — then start guessing.

Six guesses, one city

You have six attempts to name the correct city. After each wrong guess the game tells you three things: the straight-line distance from your guess to the real answer in kilometres, the compass direction you should look (north, south-west, and so on), and a colour that shows how close you are — green means you’re within 500 km, yellow within 1 500 km, orange within 3 000 km, and red means you’re further away than that. Use those hints to narrow your search with every attempt.

Building a streak

Solve the puzzle before you run out of guesses and your streak grows by one. Miss a day entirely or fail to guess correctly and your streak resets to zero. The game tracks both your current streak and your longest streak of all time, so you always have a personal record to chase.

Streaks are stored locally in your browser, not on a server, so they stay private to this device. If your browser is set to clear cookies and site data on exit (or you play in a private/incognito window), your streak history will be wiped each time you close it.

A new puzzle every day

The daily puzzle rotates at midnight UTC. Everyone around the world sees the same city on the same day, which makes it easy to compare results with friends. Once the clock resets you can check yesterday’s answer in the Yesterday panel at the bottom of the page — including a link to the city’s Wikipedia article so you can read more about the place you guessed.

The cities in the pool

WorldleCity Daily draws from a curated library of more than a thousand cities spread across every continent. Cities range from global capitals like Tokyo, Cairo, and Buenos Aires to lesser-known regional hubs that will genuinely test your knowledge of world geography. Every photograph is chosen to show a recognisable — but not always obvious — landmark: a cathedral, a market square, a harbour, or a skyline that rewards a keen eye.

Tips for new players

• Look for architectural clues — roof styles, building materials, and window shapes often reveal the region.
• Vegetation and climate are strong signals: palm trees suggest the tropics, pine forests point to temperate or boreal zones.
• Street signs, vehicle number plates, and shop fronts can contain language clues even in small thumbnails.
• If your first guess lands thousands of kilometres away, use the arrow to eliminate entire continents.
• The colour hint resets with every new guess, so track your distances manually as you zone in.
