Wordle..........I couldn't even get the instructions. Click on the question mark in the top left corner. Goal is to guess a 5 letter word in 6 tries or less. When you enter a go, the background of the letters you chose will change colour on the keypad: green = right letter in right place, yellow = right letter but in wrong place, grey = wrong letter. The number of consecutive times you play and number of attempts you took each time accumulate on a scoreboard which get updated each time you play and are available if you click on bar chart on top right corner. New word to guess each day, refreshes at midnight.

Put me down anywher and I'll find my way back.('cept Milton Keynes). MK is the easiest place in the UK to navigate around, because they numbered all the roads for the benefit of the hard-of-thinking (or lost 'merkins). Only the innumerate can possibly get lost. V-for-Vertical roads are north-south, numbers increasing from west to east. H-for-Horizontal roads are east-west, numbers increasing from north to south.

I seem to have found a swear word I didn't know was a swear word, my education is obviously incomplete.

But how do you get to the next question? What are you meant to be guessing and how do you know how right or wrong you are, baffled. You are guessing the country from the silhouette. Type the name of the country in the box at the bottom and click guess. It will then tell you how far away your guess is from the answer and what direction you need to travel, and the proximity ie 10% means you are a long way away. eg Today I guess Micronesia first, and got 17000km away and west, 13% proximity - ie the wrong side of the world. So tried Bahamas, 5600km, and east, 72%. Today was very hard and I didnt get it. Been a bit easier previously, Eritrea, Hong Kong (hard) Andorra. Silhouette arent to size. You do have to know some quite serious geography

Turned out to be right next door. Hmm.
