How to Play Flagle

A 3x3 grid hides the flag of the day. One tile is already open; every wrong guess opens another. Type a country name and Flagle answers with how far away you are, which way to head, and one more piece of the flag. Six guesses, one flag, the same for every player in the world.

How Flagle works

Flagle picks one flag per day, the same for every player worldwide - the interface translates into your language, but the answer does not. A 3×3 grid of nine tiles covers the flag. One tile is open before your first guess, so you never face a blank board, and each wrong guess opens one more.

The centre tile opens last. On most flags it holds the emblem or charge, the single most identifying element, so withholding it keeps a nine-tile board genuinely hard while the stripes and cantons carry the early information. With six guesses that means you see at most six of the nine tiles during play and never the emblem - it appears at the end, with the country name. The outer eight are shuffled per day, so the order is not learnable.

Every wrong guess also returns the geography hints Globle uses: the great-circle distance in kilometres, a compass arrow pointing toward the answer, and a heat band from cold to burning. Same vocabulary across the whole geography family, computed from the same country dataset - there is no second proximity model to drift out of sync.

Tips & Strategy

1
Read the stripes before the colours

Horizontal, vertical or diagonal bands cut the field faster than colour does. Vertical tricolours skew European and West African; horizontal tricolours skew Slavic and Latin American.

2
Corners are worth more than edges

A canton - the top-left quarter - carries a union flag, a star field or a crescent on a surprising number of flags. When the reveal order hands you a corner, spend longer on it.

3
Use the arrow before the distance

A 4,000 km reading tells you little on its own. Two guesses from different continents whose arrows cross give you a region in one move.

4
Do not chase the emblem

You will never see the middle tile while the round is live. If your read depends on the crest, you are reading the wrong evidence - go back to the stripes and the colour order.

5
Guess to triangulate, not only to win

With six guesses and the wrong hemisphere, a deliberately mid-ocean guess that splits your two arrows is usually better value than another hopeful neighbour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Flagle?
Flagle is a daily flag guessing game. A 3x3 grid covers the flag of the day; one tile is open before your first guess and each wrong guess opens another. You type a country name and get the distance in kilometres, a compass arrow toward the answer, and one more tile of the flag. You have 6 guesses.
Why does the middle tile never open while I play?
On most flags the centre holds the emblem, crest or charge - the single most identifying element. Flagle always reveals the centre last, so within six guesses you see at most six of the nine tiles and never the emblem. It opens at the end, which is what makes the reveal land.
Is the reveal order always the same?
No. A fixed order would be learnable ("top-left always first"). Flagle shuffles the eight outer tiles with a seed derived from the day, then appends the centre, so the same flag reads differently if it ever comes around again.
Is the flag the same in every language?
Yes. Flagle serves one flag per day to every player worldwide, like Globle. Only the interface and the country names translate - the answer does not. Your stats are pooled globally rather than split per language.
Which countries can appear?
The daily pool is every country with a population of at least 150,000 - 178 of the 197 in our dataset. A daily puzzle is the shared object of the day, and a flag almost nobody can name makes a poor one. Unlimited uses all 197, micro-states included.
Do wrong spellings cost me a guess?
No. Flagle uses the same fuzzy country matcher as Globle: official names, short forms (USA, UK, DRC), local spellings (Türkiye, Côte d’Ivoire) and ordinary typos all resolve. A guess that matches nothing at all is not counted and opens no tile.
How is Flagle scored and shared?
You are scored on guesses used, one to six, or X if you run out. The share grid is the board, not your guess list: nine squares showing how much of the flag you needed. It gives away no country, no direction and no distance, so posting it cannot spoil the day for anyone.
