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 Venezuela this set is spread across 13 different states, with Miranda home to the most of them (6).

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.
