What is Globle?

Globle is a guessing game where the answer is a country and the clue is temperature. Every guess lights up on a spinning globe in a colour that shows how far it is from the mystery country: pale cream when you are on the other side of the planet, deep red when you are right next door.

Follow the heat, close in on the answer and try to find it in as few guesses as possible. Everyone gets the same country each day, so you can compare scores with friends.

Full rulesTips & strategy

Daily Globle

One mystery country per day, the same for every player. Win on consecutive days to build a streak, and share your colour trail without spoiling the answer.

Globle Unlimited

Can’t wait until tomorrow? Unlimited mode picks a new random country every round. It is ideal for practice, for learning a region or for a geography lesson.

Three quick tips

Open with a big, central country

Large countries such as Kazakhstan, Chad or Brazil cover a lot of ground, so their colour tells you a lot about the direction to go.

Deep red means touching

A country at 0 km shares a border with the answer. Check its neighbours one by one and the answer is usually two or three guesses away.

Use the list, not just the globe

Guesses are sorted by distance. Comparing your two closest guesses is often enough to tell which side of a region the answer is on.

Remember the islands

Small island nations get a ring marker on the globe. If the heat is strong over open sea, think of the Caribbean, the Pacific or the Indian Ocean.

Questions

When does the daily Globle change?

A new mystery country appears at midnight in your own time zone, so everyone gets a fresh puzzle at the start of their day. The countdown in the result window shows how long is left.

Is there a limit on guesses?

No. You can guess as many countries as you need. The fun is in finding the answer with as few guesses as possible and keeping your daily streak alive.

How is the distance measured?

From border to border, along the surface of the Earth. Countries that share a land border with the mystery country are 0 km away and glow the deepest red.

Why are some places grey and not guessable?

Globle uses 197 sovereign countries. Territories such as Greenland, Puerto Rico or Western Sahara are drawn on the globe for orientation, but they are never the answer.

Can I play more than once a day?

Yes. Globle Unlimited gives you a new random country every round, with its own statistics.
