Fill nine city-grid cells by matching both row and column clues. You have nine guesses, and lesser-known valid cities earn better rarity scores.
Daily 3×3 geography grid puzzle, like Immaculate Grid for world cities. Each cell needs a city that satisfies both row and column categories (e.g., Landlocked × On a major river). Nine cells, nine guesses, rarity-based scoring — rare correct picks beat obvious ones.
CityQ is free to play in your browser — no download and no account needed. Like every good daily game it serves everyone the same challenge each day, so you can compare results with friends and keep your streak alive. Come back tomorrow for a fresh round.
CityQ is FlightQ's daily 3×3 city grid. Every cell combines a row clue with a column clue, and you must name a city that satisfies both. The categories can involve geography, history, climate, infrastructure, or other city characteristics. There are nine guesses for the nine cells and no timer. You are aiming to complete the grid with accurate answers while keeping the rarity total low.
An answer is only valid if it meets both labels at once. For an illustrative cell combining national capital with coastal city, remembering a capital is not enough: you also need to know that it fits the coastal requirement. The interface provides explanatory information for categories and supports city autocomplete, including common naming variations. Correct answers receive rarity scores, with less famous valid choices scoring lower. Lower is better, so an obscure city can outperform a very familiar one when both fit the cell.
Start with the most restrictive intersections so you know where the real gaps in your city knowledge are. A confident ordinary answer is better than an obscure guess based on uncertain facts, especially with only nine attempts available. For a stronger rarity result, think beyond national capitals: regional centers and smaller historic cities can fit many categories. Always check the definition before relying on a borderline case. A city associated with a famous nearby landmark may not necessarily satisfy a category about a site inside the city itself.
