What Fartherle is
Fartherle is a daily geography puzzle built around a world map. For each of the five clues, you pick a country that matches the clue and lock in your answer. The scoring system favors rare or less commonly chosen countries: the smaller the rarity value attached to your pick, the higher your score. Only the 193 UN member states are valid answers, so territories and other non-member entities are never the intended target. There is no countdown, so you can take your time studying the map and considering the clue before committing. Each clue allows one lock-in, and a miss scores zero. From the second daily puzzle onward, no country is repeated within the same round. After you lock in an answer, the valid answers and related country facts are shown, helping you learn even when your choice is incorrect. The daily puzzle is free to play in a web browser, and an Unlimited practice mode is also available for extra rounds.
How to play
Start a daily round and read the first clue. Use the world map to place a pin on the country you think matches, or search for it by name, then lock in your answer. You may lock in once per clue, and since there is no countdown you can spend as much time as you need. After locking in, the valid answers and supporting facts are displayed. A miss earns zero points, while a correct answer is scored according to rarity; the published points table explains how those values work. Complete all five clues to finish the daily round. You can also start an Unlimited practice round, report a clue if you believe it is problematic, and share a spoiler-free result with other players. Progress is saved locally, so no account is needed.
Tips
- Because there is no countdown, read each clue carefully and compare likely countries on the map before locking in.
- Remember that only the 193 UN member states are valid answers, so focus on recognized countries rather than territories or dependencies.
- Use Unlimited practice to become comfortable with the format and the style of the clues before taking on a daily round.
- After locking in, the valid answers and facts are shown, so a miss can still help you learn more about the country you were seeking.
