Hi, Thank you for your feedback!

We have had our team review this and they have confirmed that this issue is related to a game latency when you are placing your plonk/guess.

This may be affected by clock drift as well, so perhaps you can set your clock automatically if you are using windows.

If you experience this and lose elo ratings, please send the game replay links to us via our customer support form: https://www.geoguessr.com/support/help-center

Thank you in advance! /Di
