Atlas — Free Daily Geography Guessing Game
Guess the country from its flag.
Atlas is a free daily geography game: the target country's name starts fully masked, and every guess you make reveals one more letter of it while telling you exactly how far away — and in which direction — the real country lies from your guess. There's no map to stare at and no trivia to memorize; the distance and bearing feedback alone is usually enough to walk you to the answer within a handful of tries, and the flag itself only appears once the round ends. Free, no signup, one new country every day at 00:00 UTC, with unlimited practice in between.

Rules
The target country's name starts fully masked. Type a country name and submit your guess.
Every guess reveals one more letter of the real name and shows the distance and compass direction to it.
Use the distance and direction to narrow down where the target country actually is.
You have six guesses. Get the exact country to win — the flag reveals once the round ends.
A new country appears every day at 00:00 UTC. Practice mode is unlimited.

Atlas strategy
Open with a guess near the middle of a continent
A central, well-known country gives you the clearest read on distance and direction — the feedback from an edge-of-continent guess is more ambiguous about which direction to correct next.
Direction matters more than distance early on
A big distance with a clear compass direction narrows the whole globe down to one hemisphere-ish wedge immediately. Chase the direction first; use the distance mainly to judge how far to move.
Combine the revealed letters with the geography
By your third or fourth guess you'll have a letter or two plus a tight distance-and-direction reading. Cross-reference both — a revealed first letter alongside 'close, slightly north' usually narrows things to one or two candidates.
Atlas vs Worldle and Flagle
Atlas blends the two ideas — a progressive name reveal plus distance-and-direction feedback — into a single free daily round.
