Worldle is another Wordle-inspired game, but this one requires you to guess the country or territory for the day instead of a word. The game’s default mode shows you the outline of the country and gives you six guesses to solve the answer.
When you make a guess and it is not the correct answer, you will be told how far away the guessed country is from the answer and the direction you need to look. If you would like a more difficult challenge, try one of two other modes, both of which can be found in the game’s settings and will affect the next puzzle.
The first option is to remove the image of the country entirely, leaving you to guess at random. Your guesses will still show you how far away you are from the actual country and which direction you must travel to find the answer, which means you can make more educated guesses going forward.
The other option rotates the country’s image, so it may appear upside down or sideways on the map, but you won’t know which way it is. This will confuse you and make guessing the country a bit more challenging.
There are some bonus rounds that have been added to the game and we are also covering the answers to these, which are at the bottom of the article.

What is the Worldle 480 Country Answer Today? (5/16/23)
The answer to the Worldle 480 country/territory today is…
CAMEROON!
FUN FACTS: Cameroon is home to Lake Monoun and Lake Nyos, two of the world’s three limnically active (or exploding) lakes. These lakes contain a reserve of carbon dioxide in their waters in the form of magma underneath the water.
They cause limnic eruptions—a rare type of natural phenomenon in which dissolved carbon dioxide suddenly erupts from deep lake waters, forming a gas cloud capable of asphyxiating livestock and humans.
A limnic eruption occurred at Lake Monoun in 1984, causing the deaths of 37 people living nearby. In 1986, a more potent eruption at Lake Nyos killed over 1700 people.
