I reverse-engineered Countryle and simulated 38,612 games to find the best strategy. Using entropy and geographic data, I discovered the best starting country and built a bot that solves the game in 2.85 guesses on average.

Thanks! starting from any country the maximum is five guesses but if you pick a high entropy starting country it's 4.

Nice read, but it seems that his headline is wrong because he still has room for improvement.
