Terms of use

Last updated 18 October 2026

By playing Abroadle you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

The game

Abroadle is free to play and paid for by ads. Puzzles, word lists and country facts are written for fun. We check them, but they can contain mistakes, and borders and country names follow common usage rather than taking a political position.

We may change, pause or retire puzzles, features or the site at any time. Scores and streaks are stored on your device, and we can't restore them if they are lost.

Fair use

Please don't copy the puzzles or the site, scrape it, interfere with how it works or its ads, or use automated tools to play or click on ads. Sharing your results and screenshots is welcome.

Not affiliated

Abroadle is an independent game. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, The New York Times, Wordle or any other word game. Map data comes from Natural Earth and the word list from the public-domain ENABLE dictionary.

No warranty

The site is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss that comes from using it.

How to play

Round 1: the word

Guess the five-letter word in 6 tries. After each guess the flaps turn to show how close you are.

  • P is in the word and in the right spot.
  • N is in the word but in a different spot.
  • The grey letters are not in the word.

Round 2: the map

Every answer belongs to one country. Find it on the map: tap a country (pinch or scroll to zoom) or search by name. You have 4 tries.

Each miss only tells you how warm you are. Ice cold is the far side of the world; boiling means you are next door or share a border. No distances, no directions.

  1. Ice cold
  2. Cold
  3. Warm
  4. Hot
  5. Boiling

Miss the word and it is revealed, so you can still play the map.

Hard mode

Letters you have found must be used in every later guess. The map gives you 3 tries instead of 4.

A new daily puzzle arrives at midnight, your local time. Practice and the archive are always open, even offline.
