Here we are, the 158th Daily Country Riddle was, indeed, the last one ever. But don't worry, daily puzzles like this will come back soon. We'll see about that later, but for now, let's see rapid statistics about the 158 Daily Country Riddles !
Note : This blog might contain spoilers.
Some Statistics
First, here are the 5 countries that have been found the most, as well as the 5 that have been found the least :
| DCR # | Country | % of People who found it |
|---|---|---|
| 90 | Mali | 93.2 |
| 21 | Togo | 91.5 |
| 147 | Ghana | 91.2 |
| 127 | Jamaica | 90 |
| 158 | Nepal | 89.3 |
| DCR # | Country | % of People who found it |
|---|---|---|
| 155 | Eswatini | 32.1 |
| 134 | Ecuador | 37.1 |
| 71 | Singapore | 41.7 |
| 99 | Jamaica | 41.9 |
| 113 | Djibouti | 42.9 |
Note : This doesn't include Turkmenistan and Liechtenstein (100%), as they are the only 1-word countries to have exactly 12 and 13 letters.
Now, here are the 10 DCRs that have been played the most :
| DCR # | Number of Takes |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1698 |
| 4 | 1012 |
| 2 | 564 |
| 3 | 427 |
| 5 | 394 |
| 6 | 362 |
| 7 | 317 |
| 8 | 309 |
| 9 | 305 |
| 11 | 289 |
More or less the 10 first DCRs. Also, if you're wondering why the #1 and #4 are so far ahead, this is because they both got spotlighted.
What now ?
As you may have understood by now, Daily Riddles will come back soon. And by "soon", I mean, literally in less than a month. On July, 1st 2023, prepare yourself for the first ever :
"Daily U.S. State Riddle" !
That new series is expected to end on August, 19th, 2023, so it'll cover a big part of the summer. But the rules are gonna change a little bit :
- You will no longer have to name something that has the same number of letters as the thing to find in order to fill the evolution of the "Found Letters" row.
- The answer might contain more than one word, meaning that, on this case, every U.S. State will come up one day.
These aren't all the changes, of course. There will be aesthetical improvements, as well as some things that might not get added. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this series, and that you are happy that it will come back, and we'll see again on July, 1st !

Indeed I hope people will be happy that the rules of that game will be less strict :)
