Wordle

I’ve been playing “When Taken” this month. They are still in Beta testing but it is a fun challenge. You will be shown a photo, your task is two fold. Determine the location (I’ve been as close at 27 meters and as far as 11k kilometers) and determine the year of the photo. 100 points possible for each location and date, five photos, thus a perfect score would be 1000.

My scores have ranged from low 500’s to high 800’s. On one day by the third photo I had 597 points (only dropping 3 points by being just off on the date). I actually felt my pulse quickening!

Just tried it out. That one might be kind of fun
 
My geoguessing wasn’t very strong this round, so the chronological placement saved the score

I like ruling out lots of high value letters like that. It's different but it also narrows the field pretty quick. It took me as many tries but I was worried I'd run into the skyscraper effect. I got lucky.

First two location/year: full points. Closest location ever at under 15 metres. Had I not wavered on the last location and hedged my spot between two cities, I would have broken 900 points.

Frond was not easy yesterday. Catching the Cryptic’s Mark Goodliffe had his streak broken.
