Yes, the idea is to guess where you are. It keeps track how many you get right.

It took me a while to pick up on that. I first thought I was choosing where to go next. I then wasted a bunch of time on it. Fun.

Took me a while too. The domain (explordle) would have made it kind of obvious given the current trends of wordle clones, but I was misled by HN title which seemed to imply (imo at least) it was some kind of exploration app instead of a guessing game.

Still, enjoying it now :)
