A daily geography puzzle with an elegant feedback mechanism. You name a country, it is coloured on a rotating globe according to how close it is to the hidden answer, and there is no limit on guesses — so the puzzle is not whether you can find it but how few countries you needed. What makes it genuinely good is that the feedback is spatial rather than textual. After three or four guesses the globe itself shows you where the answer is, because the warm colours cluster, and reading that cluster is a different skill from knowing capitals. It also quietly teaches adjacency: you learn which countries border which by guessing wrongly, which is the sort of incidental education that games are actually good at. Two or three minutes a day, and it resets for everybody at the same time.

How to play Globle
- Open with large countries on different continents to establish a direction.
- Read the colours as a cluster rather than individually; the warm ones point at the answer.
- Rotate the globe to see the whole picture before guessing again.
- Use neighbours of your warmest guess rather than jumping across the map.
- Come back daily; the adjacency knowledge accumulates.
Tips
- A cold guess is still useful, because it rules out a whole region.
- Small countries are hard to click and easy to forget; type rather than tapping.
- The warmest colour is usually adjacent to the answer rather than the answer itself.
