A daily game from LadleDepartle: guess the airport from its departure board
Departle shows you a real departure board, captured from an airport somewhere in the world. The destinations, airlines, gates and statuses are all real, and the board is in the airport's own language: Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, Hebrew and dozens more. Can you tell where you're standing?

Questions
- How does the daily puzzle work?
- Everyone gets the same departure board each day and has five guesses to name the airport. A new board appears at midnight, your local time.
- Are the departure boards real?
- Yes. Each board is a real snapshot of an airport's departures, with the destination names in the airport's own language.
- Can I play more than one board a day?
- Yes. The archive has every earlier daily board, and there are practice boards too. Neither counts toward your stats.
- Is Departle free?
- Completely free, with no account needed. Your progress and stats are saved in your browser.
