I reverse-engineered Countryle and simulated 38,612 games to find the best strategy. Using entropy and geographic data, I discovered the best starting country and built a bot that solves the game in 2.85 guesses on average.

Nice work! What is the max amount of guesses?

Thanks! starting from any country the maximum is five guesses but if you pick a high entropy starting country it's 4.

Nice read, but it seems that his headline is wrong because he still has room for improvement.
