Tips for solving
Fill easier horizontal rows first. More revealed letters in the vertical column narrow the list of possible mystery countries.
Use hints strategically. Hints include flags, neighbors, timezones, and capitals. They can resolve tricky country names without multiple guesses.
Track your guess count. The first guess has no penalty. Every guess after that increases the point deduction.
