Portolan

About Portolan

Portolan is the cartographer’s nightly leaf, a guess-the-land puzzle in the Worldle vein: a single land drawn in ink, and six guesses to name it. Free in your browser, no ads, no sign-up.

How to play

One land is drawn in ink with north at the top. You have six guesses to name it, and every miss answers with the distance to the true land, a compass point toward it, and how warm you stand. After three misses the old charts whisper the continent. The same leaf falls to everyone each day.

Tips

Judge the outline by its size and coastline before you guess, islands and peninsulas give themselves away. After a miss, the distance and arrow triangulate the answer fast; let two misses box it in.
