Big miss on 4. Knew picture quality wasn’t recent, but gambled on recent AU floods.

Got the triple today, and hit 80% lifetime 1st guess on worldle.

flag confirmed initial guess in wtw, lucky guess in wtus

  1. Thought that was a Tunisian flag. Lucky it’s close to that side of Morocco.
  2. without the writing on the truck would have been very hard.
  3. Cars were a bit more advanced in Japan than I thought.

There is a sign that appears is in German. The German and Swiss buses are yellow, so it seemed to rule those 2 out.

  1. Looked for something saying Europe but got nothing. It did look northern though with the quality of light in the sky.
  2. 19th century license plate!

I really need to learn, when the first guess isn’t close, to overshoot rather than undershoot on guess 2. Since when I undershoot on guess 2, I may still undershoot on guess 3 and still be over 1000 miles short. Having it straddled is more useful

Yes, making a guess that leaves it straddled is often a help. A rule of thumb I do is 6200 miles is 90 degrees of equatorial longitude

You know your longitudes? The only ones I know are the international date line and Greenwich. Wouldn’t have a clue about anywhere I’ve lived.

OK I have it (as close a known town/city to the equator that I could find).
Valencia 0
Mogadishu 45
Dhaka 90
Osaka (or Coober Pedy) 135
International Dateline 180/-180
Juneau -134
Guatemala City -90
Sao Paolo -46

Not sure if I can remember them, but it was fun looking them up.

1 Hard to guess the year although it did look to be a digital photo. At first I thought Russian but went western Europe with what looked like a B and an S in the window
3 I saw that building just 2 years later (without scaffolding) but didn’t recognize it.
4 Didn’t recognize that as a tank. I thought it was a truck doing some tar repair on the road. Definitely looked Eastern European though.

Tried to follow yesterday’s advice (guess 1 and 2 should straddle it) but guess 1 was so far off that I underestimated what I would need to straddle. Then was too geographically challenged to recover.

Because another relevant tip is to choose countries whose locations you know pretty well, to give you a firm idea where you need to be. Followed that for guess 1, but not well enough for 2 or 3

:swear: Initial thought about #4 was right, but then second-guessed myself

Hi SteveW, depending on what you and others think, I wonder if it would be possible to rename this thread as Worldle/WhenTaken or Wordle/WhereTaken/WhenTaken (or something like that). I really like WhenTaken and was thinking of recommending it to some other users on this forum, so if it was renamed, it would be a bit easier for them to find.

What do you think (no problem if not)?

Definitely possible. Unless someone objects, it will stay renamed.
