Fill nine cells; each city fits its row and its column.
CityQ lays out a 3×3 grid. The three rows and three columns are each a category — things like “Coastal city”, “Capital city”, or “Has hosted the Olympics”. Each of the nine cells sits where one row meets one column, and the city you put there has to satisfy both at once.
Lower is better. Each correct cell scores how famous the city is, and your nine cells are added together. The skill is finding the least-known city that still satisfies both categories, so a perfect run is a grid of deep cuts nobody else would have reached for.
CityQ is a daily geography puzzle built on a 3×3 grid. Each of the three rows and three columns is a category, and every cell you fill must name a city that satisfies both the category of its row and the category of its column at once.
Each cell scores the fame of the city you place. A famous answer scores high, an obscure-but-valid answer scores low, and your total is the sum across all nine cells. The goal is to find correct cities almost nobody else would think of, so the lowest total wins.
Nine, one per cell. There is no timer, you can skip a cell and return to it, and the puzzle ends when every cell is filled or you tap done.
Any real major or second-tier city worldwide. A validator checks each entry against the row and column categories, so a deep-cut answer counts as long as it genuinely fits both.
