How to play globle

Three steps to find the secret country

Guess any country

No silhouette and no flag to start from. Type any country in the world and place your first marker on the map.

Read the heat

Your guess is shaded by distance: blue for cold, red for hot. You also see the kilometres to the answer and an arrow pointing toward it.

Follow the warmth

Each guess narrows it down. Chase the hotter colours and the arrows until you land on the secret country.

Red: hot

You are right next to the secret country.

Green: lukewarm

The right part of the world, keep closing in.

Blue: cold

Far away, on the wrong side of the world.

Hot and cold, explained

How the distance clue works

Globle measures the straight-line distance from each country you guess to the secret country, then turns that distance into a colour. The closer you are, the hotter it glows.

Cold to hot

Far awayGetting warmerFound it

A guess on the far side of the planet stays dark blue. As your guesses creep toward the answer the map warms through cyan, green, yellow and orange, until the secret country itself glows bright red. Follow the heat and you cannot miss.

Strategy

Tips to find the country in fewer guesses

Open with a spread

Start with countries on different continents, like Brazil, Australia and Russia. The pattern of hot and cold instantly tells you which half of the world to search.

Trust the arrow

Every guess points the way. If your warmest country points east, your next guess should step east, not back toward the cold.

Watch the jumps

A big colour jump between two neighbours means the target sits between them. Small changes mean you are circling the right region.

Think in regions

Once a continent is glowing warm, guess its biggest neighbours to triangulate. Central countries like Germany or Kazakhstan reveal a lot at once.

Closer beats clever

There is no guess limit, so there is no penalty for a safe step toward the heat. Steady, warming guesses beat wild long shots.

Distance trivia

The geography behind the game

The same distance facts that win Globle rounds also make for great pub-quiz knowledge.

20,000

kilometres is the farthest any two places on Earth can be: true antipodes, the iciest possible guess in Globle.

countries border both China and Russia, which is why a warm guess there can point in many directions at once.

borders needed: because Globle is measured as the crow flies, even island nations with no land neighbours can be the secret country.

FAQ

Globle, answered

What is Globle?

Globle is a free daily geography game where you guess a secret country using distance alone. There is no map outline or flag to go on. After each guess, the country you named is shaded by how close it is to the answer: dark blue when you are far away and glowing red when you are nearly on top of it, along with the distance in kilometres and an arrow pointing toward the target. It is the same hot-and-cold country guessing idea popularised by globle-game.org, rebuilt by TripMemo with an interactive world map.

How do you play Globle?

Type any country to begin. Each guess lights up on the world map in a heat colour: red means hot (very close), orange and yellow mean warm, green is lukewarm, and blue means cold (far away). The shade shifts with every step, so you can see whether you are closing in. Use the colours, the distance and the direction arrow to home in on the mystery country, then guess it in as few tries as you can. There is no guess limit, so everyone can finish.

What is the country game where you guess by hot and cold?

That is Globle. It is a distance-based guessing game: the closer your guessed country is to the secret country, the hotter (redder) it turns. Cold blue countries are far away. Following the warmth from one guess to the next leads you to the answer.

Is Globle free to play?

Yes. Globle is completely free, with no signup, no account and no app download required. You get one shared daily country that everyone in the world plays, plus an unlimited practice mode for as many random countries as you like.

What is the difference between Globle and Worldle?

They are different games. Globle hides the country and gives you only distance and heat clues, so you guess purely by where countries sit on the globe. Worldle (our silhouette game, Guess the Country) shows you the outline shape of a country and asks you to name it. Globle tests your mental map of the world; Worldle tests shape recognition. Many players enjoy both.

What is the difference between Globle and Travle?

Globle is a single-target distance game: find one hidden country using hot-and-cold clues. Travle is a route game: you are given two countries and have to connect them by naming the bordering countries in between. Globle is about location; Travle is about borders and the shortest path.

Is there a Globle unlimited mode?

Yes. Alongside the once-a-day daily challenge, TripMemo Globle has an unlimited practice mode. Pick it to play random mystery countries back to back with no daily cap, which is the fastest way to sharpen your world geography.

How is the distance between countries measured?

We use the great-circle (as-the-crow-flies) distance between the geographic centres of the two countries, the same haversine calculation used for flight distances. These are approximate, centre-to-centre estimates rather than exact figures, and that distance sets both the heat colour and the warm-or-cold label shown next to each guess.

What is the best first guess in Globle?

A strong opening guess is a large, central country, because it quickly tells you which side of the world to search. China and Russia border the most countries and stretch across Asia, Brazil anchors South America, and a guess like Egypt or Kazakhstan bridges continents. After that, follow the heat: guess toward the warmer, redder colours and away from the cold blues, narrowing the region with every turn.

Can I play Globle on my phone?

Yes. Globle runs in any modern mobile browser on iPhone and Android, as well as on desktop, with no app to download and no signup. The world map and country search are built for touch, so you can play the daily challenge or unlimited practice anywhere.

What is today's Globle answer?

A new secret country is chosen every day at midnight and everyone plays the same one. We do not post the answer here, because the fun is working it out from the hot-and-cold clues. If you get stuck, tap the in-game Hint button for a real clue about the country (its region, capital city, land borders and first letter), or switch to unlimited practice to sharpen up.

Who made this Globle game?

This version of Globle was built by TripMemo, a travel journal app for iPhone that turns your real trips into a photo map and travel diary. Globle is one of our free geography tools, alongside Travle, Flagle and Guess the Country. The game is free to play in your browser with no signup.
