How to play Globle Game

1. Every day there is a new mystery country. Your goal is to find it in as few guesses as possible.
2. Type the name of any country and press Guess. It appears on the 3D globe in a colour that shows how close it is.
3. The hotter the colour, the closer you are. Pale countries are far away; dark red countries are very close or share a border.
4. Use the colours and the “closest border” distance to zero in on the answer. Spin and zoom the globe to explore.

Example: the mystery country is Japan

What the colours mean

The correct answer turns green. Distances are measured between the closest points of two countries' borders, so a large neighbour can be 0 km away even if its capital is far away.

Globle tips and strategy

• Open with a big, central country. Russia, Brazil, Kazakhstan or the Democratic Republic of the Congo cover a lot of ground, so your first colour tells you a lot.
• Triangulate. After two or three guesses on different continents, compare their colours to work out which direction is getting warmer.
• Watch for 0 km. A country in the darkest red shares a border with the answer – check every one of its neighbours next.
• Don't forget islands and microstates. Places like Malta, Singapore, Cape Verde or Fiji are easy to miss on the globe.
• Practise in Unlimited mode. Globle Unlimited lets you play as many rounds as you want to sharpen your world map knowledge.
