Globle FAQ
Quick answers about the game. Can’t find yours? Ask us.
What is Globle?
Globle is a daily geography guessing game. You try to find a hidden country on a 3D globe; each guess is coloured by how close it is to the answer, from pale (far) to deep red (touching).
Is Globle free?
Yes, completely. There is nothing to install and no account to create. The site is supported by advertising.
When does a new Globle start?
At midnight in your local time zone. The result window shows a countdown to the next country.
How many guesses do I get?
As many as you need. Most players find the answer in 5 to 10 guesses; with good openers and practice you can regularly do it in under 6.
How is the distance between countries calculated?
It is the shortest distance between the two countries’ borders, measured along the Earth’s surface. Countries that share a border are 0 km apart. For France and the Netherlands only their European territory counts.
Which countries are in the game?
197: all 193 UN member states plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. See the full list with neighbours.
Why didn’t my country name work?
Try the suggestion list as you type. Globle understands many alternative names (Burma, Holland, Ivory Coast, Czech Republic, USA, UK, UAE…). If a common name is missing, tell us through the contact form.
I can’t see a small country on the globe. Where is it?
Very small countries are marked with a ring after you guess them. You can also zoom in with the mouse wheel, by pinching, or with the + button, and click the country in the list to fly to it.
How do hints work?
After 3 guesses you can reveal the continent, after 7 the region and after 11 the first letter. Hints are optional; if you use them, the shared result shows a 💡.
How does my streak work?
Your streak counts how many daily puzzles in a row you have solved. Missing a day or giving up resets it to zero. Unlimited rounds never affect it.
My statistics disappeared. Why?
Statistics are stored in your browser, on your device. Clearing site data, using private browsing or switching to another browser or device starts them from zero.
Is there a colour-blind mode?
Yes. Open Settings (the gear icon) and turn on the colour-blind palette, which runs from yellow (close) to blue (far). You can also switch distances to miles there.
Can I play Globle more than once a day?
Yes, in Globle Unlimited. Each round has a new random country and its own statistics.
