6 guesses to detect what that country is. Each guess will tell you how far away your guess is from the country shown in outline only. It will also tell you which direction the country is from your guess, by an arrow pointing, say, SE. Good luck. Today's was fairly easy. WorLdle |

I'm one for one, but I'm not seeing 5 more challenges. Am I missing something?

That one was fairly easy. One for one here also. But I could predict the areas I'd have more difficulty with. That would be former Soviet block nations like the -stans, western sub-Saharan Africa such as Togo, Benin, or Côte d'Ivoire, and even a few in Eastern Europe. Czechoslovakia might have been recognizable, but Czechia and Slovakia? Or Moldova and the Balkans? Then further east to Armenia and Azerbaijan. Too many amorphous outlines.

I'm good on the first one. Like Travis, I might struggle with the --stans and sub Saharan Africa. But I should be good with Slovakia et al. My family is Czech, and I've also spent some time in Georgia etc. And I know how to spell the Balkans...grin.
But the Baltic? Which is Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia?

And I know how to spell the Balkans...grin. Okay, so I fixed it. So no one knows now that you were referring to me. |

Ok, not as good as you guys but I got it on my second guess but I must admit that the clue really helped out.

My second guess today was right on the edge of the right country, but I could not remember that country's name.

A little tougher. I had to think a little on this but got it on my first guess.
