Fill the grid

Tap a square and type a country that matches both its row and its column. You have 10 guesses: every answer, right or wrong, uses one. You can’t use a country twice: to move it to another square, tap it and press Remove.

How to play CakeGrid

CakeGrid is a 3x3 geography grid: every row and every column has a clue, and each square needs a country that matches both at once.

  1. Choose a mode before you start: 10 guesses or No limit.
  2. Tap a square and type a country that matches its row and its column (for example, "South America" and "Flag with a star").
  3. Every answer, right or wrong, uses a guess. You can’t use the same country in two squares.
  4. Changed your mind? Tap a filled square and press Remove: the country is freed and you get the guess back.
  5. When you finish, tap any square to see every possible answer.

FAQ

What kind of clues are there?

Geography (continent, landlocked, number of neighbors, crossed by the Equator, borders…), flags (colors, star, crescent, stripes), numbers (population, area, GDP per capita), the name (first letter, length), independence (from Spain, the UK, France, Portugal or the USSR) and official language (Spanish, English or French).

Which countries count?

GeoCake’s 208 countries and territories: the 193 UN members, Vatican City, Palestine and 13 territories with their own flag.

Does a color count if it only appears in a detail of the flag?

Yes. For example, the blue in Mexico’s coat of arms counts for "Flag with blue or light blue". When you see the answers, it says "(in a detail)".

How do the name clues work?

They use the country’s name as GeoCake writes it in English. If you type "Holland", it counts as "Netherlands".

What if a country is missing some data?

If there’s no data for a clue (for example, Taiwan’s population), you don’t lose the guess.

When does the grid change?

There’s a new grid every day at midnight your local time. In Practice you get random grids that don’t count toward your stats.

Do I need an account?

No. It’s free and you don’t need an account. Your stats and streaks are saved in your browser; if you clear the site’s data or switch devices, they start from zero. More in the Privacy Policy.
