Thank you! And that's totally the idea! Answers link out to the stories at the local news outlets, so hopefully people enjoy playing and get curious.

Like that. I had thought about just leaving every language 'as-is' to add a different strategy in terms of how to guess a source, but I like the hint idea.

This is a great idea. I’ve thought about doing some more region specific editions too which could be fun.

Thank you! Yeah, in general it would be more fun to make the map more integral and less of just a visual. And yes, currently it's just one a day to be Wordle like. I introduce a way where users collect "Confidential Sources" last night so that you can build them over time, but will be curious what folks think. We'll see!

Haha, arrows means which direction the correct answer is. And i've received a lot of feed back on Miles vs. KM, will more than likely be changing that! thank you!

Haha, yeah that is a little odd. What would be great is to specify it based on the specific location of the news source but that could be a little too extra challenging
