World Places

Geography pays off for anyone who has spent extra time staring at a map. Ask for a capital and the crowd says London, Paris or Tokyo; pick one in Central Asia or the South Pacific and you are almost alone. With nearly two hundred countries, thousands of large cities and countless islands, there is always somewhere quieter to go.

Before you dive

Expect broad prompts like a country or a landmark next to tighter ones with letter rules or a single region. Real but modest places are your best friends: a second city rather than the capital, a river that is not the Nile, a strait rather than an ocean.

This theme holds 8 chapters and 56 prompts, including 3 written just for this theme that never show up in the daily dive. Our sheets for them accept 19,976 different answers, 108 of which are hidden jackpots worth 100 points, each with its own fun fact.

A chapter plays like the daily game: 25 seconds a prompt, the rarer your correct answer the deeper you go. It counts like Unlimited, so your daily streak is safe and you can replay as often as you like. Afterwards, tap any prompt to read its full answer sheet. Scoring is explained in the strategy guide.
