Oundle

Oundle has a new job every day that tests your knowledge of English towns and places. If you like word games and geography quizzes, this is the site for you. This game is a fun and satisfying way to work out your brain. It's based on old-school guessing games and uses British maps. People of all skill levels can enjoy Oundle, whether they know a lot about the geography of the area or just want to learn some new names for places.

How to play Oundle and how it works

In order to play Oundle, you have to find a secret British spot in a certain number of tries.
Six Chances to Win: The game field has six rows of squares, giving you six chances to find the secret spot.
Easy or Hard: You can change the length of your word from 4 to 11 letters with the word length tool before you start.
Color-coded feedback: As soon as you send in a word, you get a visible sign. If a letter is in a green square, it is correct and in the right place. If it is in a yellow square, it is correct and in the wrong place in the word. And if it is in a gray square, it is not at all where it should be.
The puzzle pool has the names of the 1000 most populous towns in Britain, but none of the names are longer than three words to make them easier to figure out.

Controls

Oundle has simple controls that make it easy to play on all devices:
The live keyboard lets you type your ideas on either the clean layout of the keyboard on the screen or a real keyboard on your computer or laptop.
You can see if the grid rows are bigger or smaller before the round starts by moving the scale.
Simple Submission: Press "Enter" to confirm your guess, and the letter colors will be shown right away.

Important tips

First, work on common vowels: If you want to quickly see how words are put together, start with things that start with A, E, or I.
Pay attention to big population centers. Since the game picks from Britain's 1000 biggest towns, you should first try to guess well-known regional hubs and then small places.
Use the Process of Elimination to move the yellow letters around on the next line. Don't move the gray letters at all.

Things that make Oundle unique

Changeable Grid Lengths: Try your hand at quick 4-letter rounds or tough 11-letter place names.
Answers with only one word make sure that word solving is clean and free of other things that could get in the way.
That's right, after each round you finish, you learn more about the location of English places.

The puzzle game Oundle is fun and easy to learn. It combines British geography with the strategy game word guessing. The clean look, easy-to-change difficulty, and quick feedback make it fun to do every day. Change the length of your words right now and see how much you know about English places!
