Reading puzzle #90

Puzzle #90 (Thursday, August 20, 2026) sits in MapDash's mid-week difficulty range. Wednesday and Thursday puzzles draw from countries that are less name-recognition-dominant; the solver typically needs to reason from the distance and direction feedback rather than guess from memory. The expected solve count climbs to 3-4 for a typical player.

Mid-month MapDash puzzles follow the standard calibration for their day of the week. Puzzle #90 is one of those — the representative middle-of-the-month difficulty band, regardless of calendar position.
