Bullseye on Worldle today.

Nearly went with Poland for my first guess, but headed in a different direction and hit the bullseye. I look at the shapes to see if I can pick out a credible coastline with a "natural" shape...bays, river deltas and river mouths in general, rather than what are likely to be the more artificial convoluted inland borders. Truth be told I can't, but still try to tell myself its a clue to look for. :-D

very easy start for the newcomer to worldle this morning...another bullseye for the falcon, and many others I suspect.

Took me 2 I'm afraid! #-o Bamboozled by the apparent amount of potential coastline, you don't usually get loads of inlets in a land border, my first stab was Canada. The 4480km due east took me there!! :-D

The main bit of the shape looked like my first thought was going to be a decent guess, but I didnt know it had that raggy bit, virtually if not completely detached at the top left corner. Made me doubt my first thoughts but never afraid to miss just took the shot and hit the back of the net in one!

Daily exercise
Worldle
Wordle
Nerdle

Today's performance on Worldle reminded me of an Oasis song.

My first guess was 14,787 km's away :-D
Thats a record missing distance for a first guess which will be hard to beat :-D
