The short answer
Worldle and Globle are the two daily geography games most people look for. In Worldle you name a country from its outline. In Globle you hunt for a mystery country, and each wrong guess lights up on a globe in a warmer colour the closer it sits.
If you want more after those, Travle asks you to cross the map one border at a time and Tradle shows you what a country sells to the world. GeoGuessr drops you into a street somewhere on Earth, and Meridish, the game behind this site, asks where a dish was born. All six run in a web browser and cost nothing to start.

Worldle
Worldle shows you the silhouette of a country or territory and gives you six tries to name it. After each guess you see how far your answer sits from the target, an arrow pointing toward it, and a percentage that reaches 100 when you get it right. Antoine Teuf built it after Wordle took off, and it runs on his Teuteuf games site. A new outline appears at midnight in your own time zone. The daily game is free in the browser, and a paid Premium plan opens the archive of past puzzles.
Small islands and territories make the hard days. If the outline gives you nothing, guess a big country near the middle of the map and let the arrow steer you.
Globle
Globle hides a country and lets you guess as many times as you like. Each country you name appears on a globe, coloured by how close it is to the answer, with deep reds for near misses and pale shades for countries far away. Globle measures closeness between the nearest land borders, so a neighbour of the answer glows hot even when its capital sits a long way off. The game is free and needs no sign-up.
Players who post low scores spread their first two or three guesses across different continents, then close in from the warmest one.
Travle
Travle gives you two countries and asks you to link them through countries that share a land border. You have as many guesses as the shortest route needs, plus a few spare. Travle judges each guess by whether it shortens the route left to cover, and a perfect score means naming the shortest route in order.
The border rules hold a few surprises. Travle counts Morocco and Mauritania as not touching, because Western Sahara lies between them, while Russia and North Korea do share a border. Players who score well name a neighbour of the start and a neighbour of the end before filling the middle, and they keep the land bridges in mind: Turkey between Europe and Asia, Egypt between Africa and Asia, Panama between the Americas.
Tradle
Tradle comes from the Observatory of Economic Complexity, a site that maps world trade. It shows a treemap of one country's exports, sized by value, and you get six guesses to name the country. Wrong answers give you a distance and a direction, as in Worldle. Once you finish, you can open that country's full trade profile on the OEC site.
Oil, copper or coffee at the top of a chart cuts the list of candidates down to a handful. A chart led by cars and machinery takes more thought.
GeoGuessr
GeoGuessr puts you inside Google Street View at a random spot and asks where you are. You look around for road signs, number plates, which side people drive on and the shape of the hills, then drop a pin on a world map. The closer the pin, the more points you score. GeoGuessr is free to download and play, and a paid subscription adds more maps, game modes and multiplayer. It also runs a daily challenge.
Meridish
Meridish is a daily food geography game. Every day everyone gets the same seven-course tasting menu, from an aperitif to a dessert. For each dish you read a clue and tap the map where you think it was born. The clue never names the place, and the answer is a town or city, so the right country earns you part of the points.
You score up to 100 points a course, and the full 100 for landing within 25 km of the hometown. After each dish you see how far you were and how the other players did. A menu takes about three minutes, it's free in your browser, and a new one arrives every day at midnight UTC. The how to play page has the scoring in full, and the dish pages show where every dish served so far was born.

Which one to play
| If you enjoy | Start with |
|---|---|
| Recognising country shapes | Worldle |
| Hot and cold searching, with no limit on guesses | Globle |
| Knowing which countries border which | Travle |
| Economics and world trade | Tradle |
| Reading clues from a street scene | GeoGuessr |
| Food, and pinning places down to the town | Meridish |
Each of these takes a few minutes, so you can fit two or three into a coffee break. Worldle and Globle pair well, since one tests shapes and the other tests position. Meridish fits alongside either. It asks for a town or city, a finer answer than any of the country games.
Questions
What is the best daily geography game?

Is Globle free?
Yes. Globle runs in a web browser with no account or subscription, and you can guess as many times as you need.
How does Travle work?
Travle names a start country and an end country. You name the countries in between, each sharing a land border with the next, and you score best by finding the shortest route in order.
Is GeoGuessr free?
GeoGuessr is free to download and play. A paid subscription unlocks more maps, more game modes and multiplayer.
Is there a geography game about food?
Meridish is one. Each day you get seven dishes and tap the map where each was born, down to the town or city. It's free at meridish.com.
