Kai spēlēt Outline

A single country is drawn as a filled silhouette — north up, no labels, no neighbours, no scale. Every country is fitted to the same frame, so Russia and Slovenia are the same size on screen and only the shape can tell them apart. Type a country name and you get the distance, a compass arrow and a heat band. Six guesses, one shape, the same for every player in the world.

How the country shape quiz works

One country per day, the same for every player worldwide — the interface translates into your language, but the answer does not. The country is drawn as a filled silhouette: north up, no labels, no borders, no neighbours and no scale bar. You have six guesses.

Every country is fitted to the same frame. Russia and Slovenia fill the screen equally, so size carries no information at all and only the shape can identify the country. That is the decision that makes this a shape game rather than an area game — and the size you gave up is exactly what the first hint rung sells back to you, at the cost of a wrong guess. The projection is equal-area and centred on the country itself, so the outline is never sheared by its latitude the way a Mercator map shears Norway.

Every wrong guess 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. On top of those, three rungs unlock as you miss — an area band after two, a population band after three, and the exact number of land neighbours after four. Every rung is a number, so the ladder reads identically in all 90 languages.

Padūmi i strategeja

1
Coastline before outline

Ask first whether the shape is landlocked, coastal on one side, or an island. That single question removes most of the pool before you have looked at a single curve.

2
Look for the notch

Most recognisable countries are recognised by one feature — a peninsula, a bite taken out of a border, a long tail. Find the one anomaly rather than trying to read the whole outline.

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 trust the size

Scale is normalised, so a country that looks enormous may be tiny. If your read depends on how big it is, you are reading the wrong evidence — wait for the area band.

5
Remember the neighbour count is land only

A count of zero means an island, not a remote country. A high count means an interior country in a crowded continent — Europe, Central Africa or Central Asia, almost never the Americas.

What is the country shape quiz?
A daily geography game. One country is drawn as a plain silhouette — no names, no borders, no neighbours — and you have 6 guesses to say which one it is. Every wrong guess returns the distance in kilometres, a compass arrow toward the answer and a heat band.
Why is a tiny country the same size as a huge one?
Deliberately. Every silhouette is fitted to the same frame, so size carries no information and the only thing that can identify the country is its shape. Leave the scale in and a third of the pool is solvable at a glance. The size you gave up comes back as the first hint rung, at the cost of a wrong guess.
Is the map projection distorted?
It is corrected, not distorted. Each shape is drawn on an equal-area projection centred on that country, so it is never sheared by its latitude the way a Mercator map shears Norway and Canada. North is always up — the shapes are the ones you learned.
What are the three hints?
After two wrong guesses you unlock an area band, after three a population band, after four the exact number of countries it shares a land border with. Every value is a number, so the ladder reads the same in every language. Solve it in two and you never see one.
Is the land-neighbour count accurate?
Yes, and it is computed rather than listed. Two countries count as neighbours only when their map geometries share a boundary line, so sea crossings are not counted — Cuba has zero land neighbours, not two.
Is the shape the same in every language?
Yes. One country per day for every player worldwide, like Globle. Only the interface and the country names translate. Your stats are pooled globally rather than split per language.
Do wrong spellings cost me a guess?
No. The same fuzzy country matcher Globle uses accepts official names, short forms, local spellings and ordinary typos. A guess that matches nothing at all is not counted.
