Flag of the Day: which country is it?
The flag is hidden. Every guess lays the flag of your country over it: wherever the colour matches in the same spot, the hidden flag shows. You also see distance and direction. A new flag every day, the same for everyone.

How it works
Guess a country
Search for a country and pick it from the list. At the start the flag is completely hidden.
Uncover colours
Wherever your guess has the same colour as the hidden flag, that part shows. Arrow and distance point to the country.
The answer
After a correct guess, the seventh guess or giving up you see the flag, the country and how everyone else did.
Rules and settings
Colour match
Compared spot by spot on a fine grid. Similar shades (two reds, say) count as the same colour.
Distance and direction
Measured between the centres of the countries. 100 % would be the hidden country, 0 % the other side of the earth.
Seven guesses
Each country only once, no skipping. Giving up shows the answer straight away.
Flag of the day
One country a day, the same for everyone. A new flag at midnight CET (CEST in summer). The daily streak counts the days in a row you got it.
Archive and comparison
Replay earlier flags in the archive (doesn't count towards your daily streak). After the answer you see on which guess everyone else got it.
Capital bonus
After the answer there's a bonus question: the country's capital, four to choose from, one try.
Result and streak
