Field notes
The listed clues draw on different municipal records: MTA and CTA ridership, multiple 311 systems, and New York City's 2015 street-tree census. The homepage says each round gives six guesses, distance and direction feedback, and a map; it also describes a five-puzzle daily mix and a practice archive. Streaks are stored in the browser, and the site says no account is needed. Eight additional cities are listed as coming soon.
