Overview

What HowMany is

HowMany is a daily geography puzzle that tests your sense of city sizes. Each day, you are shown a satellite image of a city and asked to estimate its metro-area population. You have six guesses to land within 90% of the true figure. After each incorrect guess, the game tells you whether the actual population is higher or lower, and a hint appears to guide your next attempt. The puzzle is released once per day, is free to play, and takes about five minutes to complete. It is available on the web and offers a quick, engaging challenge for geography enthusiasts.

Getting started

How to play

Start by looking at the satellite image of the city. Enter your population estimate using 'k' for thousands and 'm' for millions. Submit your guess to receive feedback: the game will tell you if the actual metro-area population is higher or lower. After a wrong guess, a hint appears to help you refine your range. Use this information to make your next guess. You have up to six guesses to get within 90% accuracy of the true population to win the daily puzzle.

Practical help

Tips

  1. Pay attention to the hint that appears after each wrong guess—it can help you narrow down the population range.
  2. Use the higher/lower feedback to adjust your next guess by a meaningful margin, not just a small tweak.
  3. Remember that you only need to be within 90% accuracy, so you don't have to guess the exact number.
  4. When entering numbers, use 'k' for thousands and 'm' for millions to keep your guesses clear.
Quick answers

Common questions

How many guesses do I get per puzzle?

You get up to six guesses for each daily puzzle. Use them wisely to narrow down the population based on the higher/lower feedback and hints.

What does the higher/lower feedback mean?

After each guess, the game tells you whether the actual metro-area population is higher or lower than your submitted number. This helps you adjust your next guess in the correct direction.

What is the win condition?

You win if your guess is within 90% accuracy of the true metro-area population. The game considers a guess successful when it meets that accuracy threshold.

Is HowMany free to play?

Yes, HowMany is free to play and available on the web. A new puzzle is released each day, so you can return for a fresh challenge daily.
