Notes about Globle

Version 1.6.0 - Change log

Listed countries

• The list of countries for this game is the same as that used by Sporcle
• Some alternate spellings and previous names are accepted, e.g. Burma for Myanmar.
• France and UK have many territories scattered throughout the globe, and they confuse the proximity algorithm, so they are not highlighted when those countries are guessed.
• Geography can be a sensitive topic, and some countries' borders are disputed. If you believe a correction should be made, please politely raise an issue or DM me on Twitter.

Tip

If you are really struggling to find the answer, I recommend going to Google Maps or Earth. Better to learn about a new country than never get the answer!

Attributions

• This game was inspired by Wordle and the "Secret Country" geography games from Sporcle
• Country outlines in the Help screen provided by Vemaps.com
• Favicons are from favicon.io
