How to play Guess the Chain
Guess the Chain is a free daily map game, a bit like Worldle or Globle but for chain stores and restaurants. Each day you see dots for every US location of one chain, from Waffle House to Whole Foods, and try to name it in 6 guesses. After each wrong guess you see whether your chain is the same kind of business, whether it has more or fewer locations, and how much the two maps overlap. Stuck? Ask for clues one at a time.
- Some chains are everywhere; others never leave one state. Play past maps in the archive , where each map also has a page with its clues and answer, or keep going in practice mode .
