What is Capitalle?
Capitalle is a free browser-based geography guessing game with a daily mystery capital. Each day, one world capital city is chosen as the answer, and your job is to identify it within six guesses. You start from any capital you like; after each wrong guess, the game tells you how far that capital lies from the target and in which direction the answer sits relative to it. That combination of distance and direction turns each attempt into a navigational clue: a short distance means you are close, while a long one tells you to think about a different region of the world. The direction indicator helps you decide whether to move your next guess north, south, east or west of the previous one. With only six tries available, each guess matters, so players who enjoy combining geography knowledge with deductive reasoning will find a satisfying daily challenge here.
How Capitalle works
- Goal
Identify the day's mystery world capital city within six guesses.
- Your moves
- Name a world capital city as your guess
- Read the distance and direction feedback
- Choose your next capital based on that feedback
- Repeat until you name the answer or run out of guesses
- Reading the feedback
- Distance figure
- How far your guessed capital is from the mystery capital.
- Direction indicator
- Which way the answer lies relative to your guessed capital.
- When a round ends
A round ends when you name the mystery capital or use all six guesses; a new mystery capital arrives each day.
Your first round
- Name any world capital city as your opening guess.
- If it is wrong, read the distance and direction shown for that guess.
- Pick a capital that lies in the indicated direction and guess it.
- Keep using the shrinking or growing distance to narrow the region.
- Name the mystery capital within six guesses to finish the round.
Easy to miss
- The feedback works in two dimensions: distance tells you how close you are, but direction is what tells you where to look next.
- Six guesses is the total for the whole round, not per region, so early wild guesses cost you later corrections.

- You enjoy geography quizzes and know your way around a world map.
- You like daily one-puzzle games with a clear guess limit.
- You prefer deduction games where numeric feedback guides each next move.
