Games Like Farflung
If you enjoy dropping pins on a world map, start with PlayPinDrop or MapTap. If you would rather hunt for an unusual answer that fits the clue, GeoGrid and Planet Pop are closer matches.
For rarity scoring
Try GeoGrid for the same search for a less obvious valid answer, with two rules to satisfy in each cell. Planet Pop keeps the globe and rarity scoring but adds a clock and an endless run.
For accurate pins
PlayPinDrop and MapTap give you a place to locate. Your score depends on how close you land. In Farflung, several countries can fit a clue, and a less common correct choice can score more.
For a different kind of map skill
Travle tests which countries share borders. Worldle tests whether you recognize an outline. Pick Travle to practice routes or Worldle to practice silhouettes.
