Silhouette Six

Just an outline, no labels — and it might be spun or resized. Can you name it in six guesses?

How to play

A country's silhouette appears with no other clues, often rotated and scaled to keep you honest. Type a country name to guess; each wrong attempt nudges you closer with a hint, but you only have six tries.

• Study the outline shape alone
• Type a country name to make a guess
• Use feedback from wrong guesses to narrow it down
• Identify the country within six attempts

Controls

• Desktop: type your guess and press Enter (keyboard recommended)
• Phone & tablet: tap the field to type with the on-screen keyboard

Game modes

• Daily: one shared seeded country, ranked globally
• Practice: a fresh country every round to keep training

Tips & strategy

• Look for signature features — a long coastline, a peninsula, an island cluster or a boxy border
• Mentally rotate the shape to a familiar orientation before deciding
• Relative size and proportions survive scaling, so judge length against width

What you'll learn

Silhouette Six tests how well you know the world's countries from their outline alone, building map recognition and a mental atlas.

• Skills: country shapes, map recognition, world geography
• Best for: roughly grades 4–9 (ages 9–15)
• For parents & teachers: sharpens recognition of countries by shape.
