What is Vexle?
Vexle reverses the flag quiz format. You are given a country name and a blank canvas, then must draw its flag from memory before revealing the actual flag alongside your attempt with a percentage match score. The drawing toolkit includes brush, fill bucket, eraser, rectangle, circle, line and star tools, a palette of preset flag colors plus a full rainbow picker for custom shades, size control, and undo/redo buttons.
How to play Vexle
- Read the country name displayed above the canvas under the daily draw number.
- Draw the flag using the tools provided. Use the fill bucket for the field, shape tools for bands and stars, and open the rainbow picker when you need a specific shade not in the presets.
- Press reveal to see your drawing beside the actual flag with a percentage match score.
Why recognition and reproduction are different skills
Vexle exposes the gap between recognizing a flag and actually drawing it. You will know the colors of a flag you have seen countless times yet struggle to recall which side the canton sits on or how many stripes the design contains. The scoring system rewards large color regions over fine emblem details, keeping it a memory test rather than an art competition. The percentage match gives you a target to beat when that country appears again. The game runs in nine languages and includes a section for teachers.
Reading your score
The percentage match is calculated so that large color regions carry most of the weight while fine detail counts for very little. Reach 90% or higher and confetti animates on screen. Return the next day to build your streak.
Game modes

Limited time event: A banner above the tabs may run a regional flag pack against a countdown, with a fixed set to complete before it expires.
Tips for better scores
Build the flag from the largest regions outward. Start with the field, add the main bands, then the charge or emblem. Score comes primarily from big color regions, so a correctly colored field beats a shaky coat of arms attempt.
Learn keyboard shortcuts before you start drawing. B for brush, F for fill, E for eraser, R C T L S for the shapes, square brackets to resize, and Ctrl+Z to undo.
Use the rainbow picker when needed. The preset palette covers common flag colors, but many countries use a specific navy or green. Color accuracy is what the scoring system measures, so match the exact shade when possible.
Common questions
Do I need to be able to draw?
No. The scoring weighs large color regions and discounts small detail. Reaching 90% earns confetti, so a clean two-color field beats a shaky emblem attempt.
Is there more than one flag a day?
Yes. The daily draw is one flag, and practice mode offers unlimited flags according to the help panel.
