Your score

9,250 / 10,000

  • Clue 3 open: worth 9,250 (the clues cost 750)
  • No wrong guesses: nothing more lost.
  • One clue earlier, the same round scores 9,750.

What each clue and each miss costs

Clues start cheap and get dearer. A wrong guess is dear from the start, because it takes 30% of everything a right answer is still worth.

A miss costs a share of what's left, so a second miss costs less than the first. Every right answer and miss combination is in the full scoring table.

How Originle works out your score

  • Right answer: the points for the clues open at that moment, then 70% of that for each earlier wrong guess. The game ends at the first right answer.
  • Three misses: up to 1,000 for your closest guess, by its border-to-border distance from the answer. Any right answer, even 1,470, beats the best miss.
  • Giving up: the same as missing, from the guesses you made; 0 with none.

Puzzles #1 and #2 keep their original scoring: a correct answer starts at 10,000 points, loses 1,000 for each extra clue through clue 7, and is worth 2,500 on clue 8 before subtracting 500 per miss. Choose “#1 or #2” in the calculator for those.

Guess now, or one more clue?

Compare the two prices. On clue 3, the next clue costs 750; a wrong guess costs 2,770. If you'd put your guess at less than about a three-in-four chance, the clue is the better buy. At the end it flips: on clue 7 the outline costs 1,750 but a miss only 1,420, so a reasonable guess beats waiting for it.

Originle scoring questions

What is the highest possible Originle score?

10,000: the right country from the first video, with no wrong guesses. The lowest score for a right answer is 1,470, on the last clue after two misses.

How much does each Originle clue cost?

Each clue costs 250 points more than the one before: clue 2 costs 250, clue 3 costs 500, and so on up to 1,750 for clue 8, the outline. A right answer on the last clue is worth 3,000 before any miss.

What is the penalty for a wrong guess in Originle?

Each wrong guess keeps only 70% of what a right answer is worth, so it costs 30%. A miss on clue 1 costs 3,000, more than clues 2 to 5 together (2,500). You have 3 guesses.

How does distance scoring work in Originle?

It only counts when no guess is right. Your closest guess then scores 1,000 × e^(−km / 1,500), rounded to tens: 1,000 at 0 km, 720 at 500 km, 370 at 1,500 km. Use the game's distance value; 0 km can still be a wrong guess.

What score do you get for giving up in Originle?

The same as missing all three: your closest guess so far scores up to 1,000. Giving up before any guess scores 0.

Is this the official Originle calculator?

No. It's an independent tool that uses the scoring formula published in the game's own code, checked on October 16, 2026. Your score in the game is the one that counts.
