I don't think familiarity with Wordle helps much. This UI is pretty damn confusing. You type in country names, and then a km value, arrow, and percentage value appears. I have no idea what these signify. Clicking on the boxes brings up a box that gives you information but I have no idea how that information is relevant.

This is pretty obvious if you have played Wordle or Worldle.

They were referencing worldle not wordle. Note the extra L for world instead of word.

  Ah, I'm going to blame that one on HN's ridiculous decision to use a 9px font size for comments.

    150% zoom level is your friend.

      that's me. and my experience of the web has been painful for the past 5 to 6 years. it feels like no one cares about zoom level or accessibility...

        I'll go out on a limb and say you have turned 40 in the past 5 to 6 years.

        For me (still sub-40 for a few more years) font-sizes on the web are fine. It’s only HN with it’s "superior" design where I have to zoom in.

The arrow and distance are from the bad guess to what the answer actually is. So like I guessed Estonia, but the answer was Sweden so the arrow pointed northwest and the distance was some 300 odd km.
