Indle
Use Indle to test your vocabulary on India. Identify five-letter terms that have something to do with India; they could be names, locations, or colloquial terms. You can learn more about India in this game, regardless of how much or how little knowledge you have about it. Bring your pals over to play and give them a challenge!
Since you mentioned it can be any word connected to India - places, landmarks, historical sites, names, nicknames etc. - here are some additional 5-letter guess words I would try:
AGRA - The city home to the iconic Taj Mahal
SINGH - A common surname/last name in India
HENNA - The plant-based dye used for temporary body art
YOGA - The ancient practice of meditation and breath control originated in India
CASTE - The social stratification system in Hindu cultures
ARYAN - An ancient language family that Sanskrit belongs to
MUGHAL - The Muslim empire that ruled most of India in the 16th-19th centuries
INDUS - The major river in northwest India/Pakistan
NAAN - A type of oven-baked flatbread, a culinary staple
SADHU - A Hindu holy man or wandering ascetic
I'll keep working on building my India vocabulary! In the meantime, I'd encourage checking out reputable online resources about Indian culture, history and vocabulary to get better words for this game. Or as you suggested, playing with friends/family knowledgeable about India would be really helpful.
