# DailyMetro

> DailyMetro is a free daily browser game where you guess the transit station of the day for your city, like Wordle but for metro, subway, tram and tube networks. A brand-new puzzle drops every midnight, there is nothing to install and no account to create. More than 100,000 people played the Paris edition during its first month. Official site: https://dailymetro.live

DailyMetro (also written "Daily Metro") is the daily station-guessing game for public-transit fans. Each day the game picks one real station from your city's network and you have to name it. After every guess, colour-coded clue columns tell you how close you are: which lines serve the answer, its compass direction and distance, its daily ridership, the first and last letters of its name, its fare zone or district, the year it opened, and the origin of its name. It plays like a mash-up of Wordle and the "guess the place" family of daily games, built specifically around real metro, subway, U-Bahn, tram, tube, MRT and light-rail systems.

## How to play the daily game

- Open your city's page (see the city list below) and type any real station name to make your first guess.
- Each guess reveals clue columns comparing your station to the hidden answer of the day: shared lines, direction and distance to the answer, ridership tier, first/last letter, fare zone or district, opening year, and name origin (columns vary by city).
- Arrows and colours point you toward the answer; keep guessing to narrow it down.
- Win in as few guesses as possible to score more points, climb the rank ladder, and share your emoji-grid result. There is a lighter "Normal" mode and a harder expert "Connaisseur" mode.
