Visual Patterns by Fawn Nguyen

Between Two Numbers Chewable Math

Worldle

Games have evolved as the Internet makes trivia, well, kinda trivial!

A cousin to Wordle and Numble, Worldle hones geography, distance, directional and units skills. Settings include units (miles vs kilometers), a light vs. dark theme, choice of 10 languages as well as difficulty modifiers.

Teuteuf Games "develops websites and apps that are entertaining like geography and photography games...in addition to Worldle, there is WhereTaken or Emovi?"

The ISO 3166-1 standard is used as a reference for the country code list.

For now, the game is only available on the web, but there are plans for an app.
