Question 1

Is GeoRiddle like Wordle but for geography?

Question 2

How is GeoRiddle scored?

Each cell is scored by the population of the country you enter. The most populous valid answer scores 5 points; rare, small countries can score up to 100. Lower total = better score. A perfect board is 45 points.
