How to play
Guess today’s ZIP from distance- and place-style clues. It is a US5 exclusive: the same ZIP identifiers that power Places pages, presented as a daily geography puzzle instead of a data table.
ZIP codes vs places on a map
ZIP Codes are USPS delivery routes, not census polygons. On US5 we still treat a five-digit ZIP as a practical place key — linking mail geography to cost, salary, and demographic snapshots on `/zip/{code}` pages.
Daily ZIP Guess trains you to think in that five-digit space: coastal vs inland, metro fame (90210), and how a code can sit next to a very different neighbor.
After you guess, open the real ZIP page
A correct (or revealed) ZIP is a doorway into US5 Cost and Places — rent signals, wages, and methodology — not just trivia. Use the quiz to discover codes, then dig into the data.

Games teach recognition. These Places and reference pages add cost, salary, and map context.
