Play DailyCityA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
DailyCity is a daily capital-city quiz that challenges you to find a single mystery world capital each day by submitting capital-city names as guesses and reading the feedback. Every guess is scored against the day's answer using whether the guessed country's currency matches, the straight-line distance in kilometres, the compass direction toward the target, and how the metro population compares. The same puzzle is served to all players each day.
The game is free and requires no sign-up to play. You may submit unlimited guesses for the daily capital; fewer guesses and faster answers yield higher point totals. After solving you can share an emoji-style result grid summarising your performance. The site supports multiple languages and the puzzle refreshes at midnight in your local time.
How to play DailyCity
- Choose Capitals mode to play the capital-city challenge.
- Type the name of any capital city as your first guess.
- Read the feedback: currency match, distance in kilometres, compass direction, and population comparison.
- Use the colour hints where green indicates exact, orange indicates close, and red indicates far.
- Keep guessing until you find the mystery capital; fewer tries give more points.
Tips for DailyCity
- Start with geographically well-known capitals to get a clear compass direction and distance baseline.
- Use currency matches to narrow to countries that share the same monetary unit.
- Compare population feedback to decide whether to target a large metropolitan capital or a smaller one.
- Treat distance and direction together: a moderate distance plus a single cardinal direction can quickly narrow continents.

What is DailyCity?
DailyCity is a free daily capital-city guessing game that gives one mystery world capital every day. Each guess gives feedback on currency, straight-line distance in kilometres, compass direction toward the answer, and how the metro population compares.
How do the clues work in Capitals mode?
Every guessed capital is compared directly to the day's answer and returns whether its country's currency matches, the distance as the crow flies in kilometres, the compass direction to the target, and a population similarity indicator. The colours signal accuracy: green for exact, orange for close, and red for far.
