Double-digits, even with help.

Today's was one of the most difficult yet. I couldn't figure out how it could be at the distances claimed, not be the obvious, and even with a map I was stumped trying to triangulate th answer. It took going beyond using a map for me. So my 9 has an * beside it.

I finally guessed it, but Globle won’t accept it, kept getting “invalid answer,” I even tried alternate spellings. Anyone else have this problem?

ETA: finally got it to accept by misspelling it, then the misspelled word was underlined in the game with offered corrections, I selected THEIR correction (even though I had already tried it) and voila! Accepted.

If it wasn't for your clue I wouldn't have gotten it. I guessed the other country that is within the boundaries but had no idea the other was an independent country. I'm sad because I had the border country on 2... then just a lot of confusion.

After yesterday being particularly difficult it was nice to get one in three. It was pure luck from staring selection to final but I'll take it.

I found today's pretty easy, guessing it in 5.

Twenty-freaking-four. While consulting a map for the last half-dozen guesses. This is probably some sort of karmic payback for turning up my nose to "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?"

10 for me today, I did have to consult a map as I knew the island I wanted after guessing a few others in the chain but I couldn't quite place the name.

I tried a spelling that said it was not a valid guess, guessed another one, then came back. 11 guesses with map help. Different experience, and a different kind of challenge.

Just so we're clear what sort of meathead I can be: I didn't even remember that this was the name of a real country. For all I knew, it could have been the title of a chapter from "Foxe's Book of Martyrs."
