Question 1

What kinds of questions do I see?

Accepted Answer

Three variants, mixed by the day's seed: "What is the capital of ?", "Which country has the capital ?", and "On which continent or region is ?". Each has four options and exactly one correct answer.

Question 2

How many countries are in the rotation?

Accepted Answer

All 195 internationally recognised countries from ISO 3166-1 — the same canonical list used by Daily Flag Quiz, Daily Geography Quiz, and the rest of the GeoSites portfolio.

Question 3

How is this different from Daily Geography Quiz?

Accepted Answer

Same engine and dataset; different brand and SEO. Daily Country Quiz targets the head term "country quiz" (US 27,100/mo); Daily Geography Quiz targets "geography quiz" (US 33,100/mo). Each ranks better with its own EMD.

Question 4

How is the puzzle determined?

Accepted Answer

Deterministically from the date. Everyone playing /daily/2026-04-26 sees the same ten questions in the same order with the same answer options. The seed mixes the date with the salt "country".

Question 5

When does a new puzzle drop?

Accepted Answer

Every day at 00:00 UTC. The archive at /daily keeps the last 90 days; older days roll off the end.

Question 6

Do I need to sign in?

Accepted Answer

No. Your progress for today is saved in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Question 7

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Accepted Answer

For capital and country questions, we sample three other countries from the dataset and use their names or capitals as distractors. For region questions, we sample three other regions from the canonical six.

Question 8

Why do my friend and I get the same puzzle?

Accepted Answer

The day's puzzle is computed from the date, so two players opening /daily/2026-04-26 always see the same ten questions — easy to compare scores.

Question 9

Can I share a single past day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every /daily/YYYY-MM-DD URL is permanent and serves the same questions to anyone you send it to.
