One outline, six guesses. Name the UK area from its north-up shape. Type a name and choose from the complete list of counties and unitary authorities, Scottish council areas, Welsh unitary authorities and Northern Irish districts.
Wrong guesses return the distance between centroids in miles, a compass bearing towards the answer and a closeness percentage. Warmer colours mean you are getting closer. After three wrong guesses, an optional hint tells you the nation. At the end, see every guess and the answer on a UK map.
Monday to Wednesday bring larger, familiar areas. Thursday to Saturday can use any area. Sunday brings smaller areas. No area repeats within 120 days. New outline at midnight UK time, with six guesses for everyone and no speed bonus.
