Field notes
The page explains that its source is Wikimedia Pageviews, which counts article reads, and says it selects the Wikipedia edition in a country's main language. Guess feedback is staged: distance, direction, and shared-border information arrive on wrong guesses, followed by a continent reveal after the third miss. The homepage also says results can be shared without spoilers; the extracted evidence does not expose the puzzle interface.
