Flagle

Flagle on DLE HQ is a flag round you can replay as often as you like. The board in the frame is called Bunting. A flag is shown, you have six guesses, and every wrong guess reports kilometres plus an eight-point compass direction. Name the country, or miss six times and read the reveal, and the same country stays for the bonuses: an outline, a capital, and a land border when the list has one. Unofficial fan-made game. Not affiliated with Flagle. The flags are MIT-licensed SVGs from flag-icons.

The round will feel familiar if you play daily games like Wordle: a short budget of guesses, a clue after each miss, and a clear end. The subject is a flag, and DLE HQ runs an unlimited version. There is no flag of the day, no login, and no download. Next country, after the bonuses, loads another flag at once. Flags you solve are counted in this browser only.

How to Play Flagle

1. Look at the flag in the stitched frame on the Bunting board. The picture is the clue. The file name is not shown as a label.
2. Type a country and choose it from the suggestions. The list is the same bundled set of 194 countries used for aliases such as UK, USA, Burma, or Cape Verde.
3. A wrong guess spends one of the six tries. The row shows that country’s name, the kilometres between centre points, and a compass arrow such as SW. The pegs above the flag fill as you spend tries.
4. Name the country, or miss all six and read the reveal. Bonus questions then use that same country. A wrong bonus does not change the flag result.
5. After the bonuses, press Next country. The board loads a different flag and gives you six tries again. There is no daily lock.

Free online, with no download

Bunting is a page. On a computer, type into the box, move with the arrow keys, and press Enter. On a phone, tap a suggestion. The flag is kept short so the box stays on screen. Refreshing starts a different flag and drops any bonus you had not finished. A flag you had already named still counts in the solved total. If the country list fails to load, Try again reloads it, and that failure is not a lost guess.

Flagle Rules and Tips

The flag phase is six guesses. A correct name ends it immediately, and the gold peg marks the solve. A miss shows distance and direction only, not a warmer or colder colour. That colour scale is on the Globle page. Bonuses are a separate score, and they still run after a reveal.

• One flag per round, drawn at random. Countries you just played are less likely to appear again right away.
• Six guesses for the flag. The message counts how many are left.
• Guesses have to be countries on the list. An unknown name is refused and does not spend a try. Repeating a country does not spend a try either.
• A wrong guess shows kilometres between centre points and a direction: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW, with an arrow.
• The sixth miss reveals the country name. The flag result is a miss. The bonuses still run.
• Shape, when an outline exists: pick the country’s drawing from four silhouettes. Continue, or See the round on the last bonus, moves you on after the correct drawing is marked.
• Capital: four city names. For South Africa the question asks for the executive capital, Pretoria. Cape Town and Bloemfontein are not offered as traps on that question.
• Borders: four country names, one of which shares a land border with the country. This question is skipped when the list has no land neighbour.
• Next country starts another flag. Flags solved on this device counts only flag phases you named within six guesses. It is stored in this browser.

Unlimited rounds after the six flag guesses

Six is the budget for one flag, not for the day. Next country starts another flag, another six tries, and another set of bonuses. Nothing waits for tomorrow. The outlines are simplified icons: the United States drawing is the contiguous states, France is metropolitan France, and the United Kingdom drawing includes the island of Ireland. The correct icon is marked after you answer.

Count the colours first

Count the colours and the arrangement before you study the emblem. A horizontal tricolour, a vertical tricolour, a cross, and a triangle at the hoist are different families even when they share red, white, and blue. France, the Netherlands, Russia, and others live in that palette, so colour alone will not finish the round. Guess the country you can place, and use the kilometres if you are wrong.

Look for the emblem

Stars, crescents, birds, and trees are the second pass. A cedar, a maple leaf, or a sun with a face can be enough if you know it. Do not treat every star as the United States, and do not treat every red-white-blue cross as one country. If the emblem only narrows you to a region, guess a country there so the direction can separate the look-alikes.

Use regions when flags look alike

African flags often share green, yellow, and red. Caribbean flags can share a triangle and a few bright bands. Oceanian flags often put the Union Jack in a canton with stars on blue, which is why Australia and New Zealand are easy to confuse until you count the stars. Guess a country you can locate. The kilometres tell you whether the region was right.

Treat the bonuses as separate skills

Naming the flag does not answer the capital, and a missed bonus does not undo the flag. Shape is four drawings. Capital is four cities. Borders asks which of four countries shares a land border. Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu skip the shape question because this build has no outline for them. Borders are skipped when there is no land neighbour, including Japan, Iceland, New Zealand, Madagascar, the Philippines, Australia, and Cyprus. Indonesia is asked, because the list records land borders. Singapore is paired with Malaysia.

Flagle vs Wordle

Daily games like Wordle give you one puzzle and a fixed number of guesses, then a wait. Bunting keeps six tries for the flag and drops the wait. The next flag does not sit until tomorrow. A miss marks a place: how far the guessed centre is, and which way to turn. After the name is known you still face a silhouette, a capital, and sometimes a neighbour, and a missed capital does not take the flag away. Wordle Unlimited on this site is Folio. The Globle page, Waymark, is the country chase with no flag and no six-guess cap.
