GuessTheDot is a free geography guessing game: you get a place name and a map full of dots, then click the one you think is right.

Villages with enough people that locals would call them a proper town, but small enough that they rarely make the news. Ranked play starts here, since cities are too easy to be a real test.

In Belarus this set is spread across 5 different provinces, with Minsk home to the most of them (4).

How this category is defined

Place kinds on GuessTheDot are a practical grouping by population and place type for gameplay, not a legal or historical designation. A place can hold official city rights (or an old city charter) and still show up here as a village if it stayed small, and the other way around: this is a rough size ladder for guessing, not a statement about a place's official status.

Tips for this category

These places cluster around bigger cities more than you would expect: check the commuter belt of the nearest big city first.
Names ending in common local suffixes (think "-dorp", "-ham", "-ville") often hint at the region, not just the country.
