About Citydle
Citydle is a free daily city-guessing game created by Sasha Slutsker and inspired by Wordle. Each day the site hides one city, and the answer pool leans toward larger cities and world capitals rather than small towns. Players enter a city name from a drop-down list, and every incorrect guess reports two things: the distance in miles between that city and the hidden one, and an arrow that points toward the answer. Colour feedback adds a third layer, showing whether the correct continent has been found and whether the correct country has been found.
