How Globle works
Globle hides one mystery country a day. Every guess you make is shaded by distance: the hotter the color on the globe, the closer your guess sits to the answer. There is no guess limit, so the game is really about how few tries your geography needs. Our hints climb the same way the game does - from the whole map down to one country.
