What is Oceandle?

Welcome to Oceandle, an engaging and educational geography guessing game where a new mystery sea is revealed every day. Your goal is to identify this hidden sea, gulf, bay, strait or ocean using the fewest number of guesses. Each guess is highlighted on an interactive globe with a colour that indicates how close you are to the mystery sea — the hotter the colour, the closer your guess. If your guess borders the mystery sea, it turns red. Test your knowledge of the world's waters, explore the globe, and challenge yourself daily with Oceandle! It belongs to the geography family of daily games: one shared puzzle per day for every player.
