When arranging a list of puzzle games with a geographical theme, Flagle always comes out on top. Seasoned gamers can easily spot that a title with the "dle" ending is a variant of the word-guessing Strands NYT. Things go the same with the Flagle game.
Players can also enjoy the guessing engine of the iconic Wordle game in this variant, but the primary mysterious object is changed from an English word to the name of a nation in the world. Therefore, this version will evaluate your geographical knowledge, requiring you to determine a country exactly from some corners of its national flag. This is also the reason why the game contains the word "flag" in its name.
The Flagle game starts with a blank block divided into 6 pieces, each being a part of the hidden country's national flag. You can start the game by clicking or tapping a random part of the block to reveal the image. From the image, you will guess which country the flag belongs to. 6 hidden parts of the flag will be equivalent to 6 guesses you can make to come up with the correct answer.
To submit the guess, you have to type a country's name in the guessing box and press Enter to submit your answer.
After you submit the guess, the game will display two pieces of information to take you closer to the solution:
If the flag-guessing mission is too easy for you, you can opt for the "Play Bonus Round" section of the game. In these additional missions, you will have to pick the correct shape of the country, its capital, its estimated population, or the neighboring country of the hidden country.
These extra questions can provide you with more information about the country you have guessed. The bonus challenges are available even when you can't determine the country. So, consider the game an interesting chance to expand your understanding of worldwide geography.
