Farflung - Daily Geography Puzzle Guide
Farflung is a free daily geography guessing game - one hidden country per day, the same for everyone, solved from clues and the map. It runs in the browser on its own site with no download or account.
How to play
- 1Read the clues
Each daily puzzle gives you hints about the mystery country - geography, distance and direction cues narrow the map.
- 2Make your guesses
Submit country guesses; feedback after each one tells you how far off you are and which way to look.
- 3Use elimination
Distance feedback turns wrong guesses into information - triangulate instead of guessing random neighbors.
- 4Come back tomorrow
One puzzle a day keeps the streak alive - results can be shared without spoiling the answer.
Strategy tips
Start central
A first guess in a mid-map continental hub maximizes the information from the distance readout.
Use the direction hint
Direction cues cut the map in half - combine them with distance bands before burning guesses.
Know the outliers
Island nations and territories are common answers when distances look weird from every continent.
