One outline. Six guesses. Somewhere in the UK.
A little more familiar
with where we live.
Britele is a daily geography game: recognise a place from its outline, follow the clues and discover something about the map along the way.
No account needed. One Daily puzzle, changing at UK midnight. Start when you like and come back when you feel curious.
How to play
Look. Guess. Follow the clues.
Study the outline
Look at the shape of the mystery area. You have six guesses to identify it.
Choose a place
Type a name, choose a matching suggestion, then submit your guess. The game uses a curated set of areas across the four UK nations.
Use the feedback
The arrow points from your guessed area towards the answer. The distance is in approximate miles between area centres. Each wrong guess unlocks another clue, and you can ask for the next clue early. If you are still stuck after all five clues, a confirmed answer reveal is available and records a loss.
Explore what you found
After the main round, explore the journey map and five optional bonus questions connected to the answer area. Share your result if you like. Each Daily result counts once in your statistics.
There are 107 Daily areas in this edition, so places return in the rotation. The puzzle still changes at UK midnight.
What counts as a place?
Four nations.
Different kinds of area.
- England — ceremonial county identities; Greater London includes the City of London.
- Scotland — council areas.
- Wales — principal areas.
- Northern Ireland — six county identities from the retained OSNI map, which omits some offshore islands; these are not the current council districts.
Not every town or familiar county name is a Daily target. Equivalent spellings are accepted, and historical reference entries describe their own periods.
Distance and direction concern mapped area centres, not roads, towns or the nearest boundary. Mapped areas are approximate and include inland water.
See definitions, boundary sources and qualifications →Curiosity is the point.
You do not need to know every outline. Follow a clue, notice a shape, learn a name. The sources and qualifications remain part of the game, including where the map is incomplete.
The game stores progress and settings locally in your browser or installed app. It has optional usage analytics; this explanatory page has no analytics script. Read the privacy notice.
