How to play Globle
- Type your first guess. Any country works — big countries like Russia or Brazil cover more map and make great openers.
- Read the heat. Your guess colors in on the globe: dark red means you're breathing on the border, pale yellow means you're an ocean away.
- Triangulate. Each new guess narrows the region. Use neighbors to close in.
- Find the mystery country. The world average is around 7 guesses — beat it and flex your score.
There's one puzzle per day — the same country for every player on Earth, which is what makes score-sharing fun — and it resets at midnight your local time (full reset details here).
Why Globle beats every other daily puzzle
- You actually learn something. After a month of Globle you will, involuntarily, know where Eswatini is.
- No word lists to memorize. Unlike Wordle-style games, your only skill is the map in your head — and it grows every day.
- 30 seconds or 10 minutes. Nail it in 3 guesses or spiral into an atlas deep-dive. Both count as playing.
- Zero friction. No app, no account, no download — the game runs right on this page, on any device.
Open like a pro
Strong first guesses split the world efficiently. Try one of these openers:
- France — Europe/Africa/Atlantic triangulation in one guess
- Egypt — anchors Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean at once
- Thailand — cuts Asia down the middle
- Brazil — owns South America and the Atlantic
