Worldle

Shares Tradle's six-guess format and its distance-and-direction arrows, but you read a country's outline rather than its export chart.
Games like Tradle
Tradle shows a treemap breaking down what a single country exports and gives you six guesses to identify it. Every miss tells you how far away the answer is and which way to look. Hosted by the Observatory of Economic Complexity, it rewards an unusual kind of knowledge: knowing that a chart dominated by copper, coffee or crude oil points to a particular corner of the world.
The list favors geography games where you reason from evidence such as numbers, a chart or a photo rather than simply recognizing a map. It begins with games that share Tradle's feedback or its taste for statistics, moves to outline, flag and photo games, and ends with puzzles about borders and country facts.

Closest first
Globle
globle-game.com · Geography
Uses distance as its only clue, tinting the globe warmer as your guesses approach the answer, which trains the same mental map that Tradle's arrows rely on.

Countryle
countryle.com · Geography
Closest in spirit among the data games: each country you try is measured against the answer on figures like population and temperature, so you reason from statistics as Tradle asks.
DailyPlay ↗
Juxtastat
urbanstats.org · Geography
Pits two places against each other on a figure like the share of people in poverty, five times a day, a good companion for Tradle fans who enjoy the numbers behind a country.
DailyPlay ↗
Statele
statele.teuteuf.fr · Geography
Takes the six guesses and distance clues to U.S. states and their outlines, a smaller pool that is easier to master than Tradle's whole world.
Flagle
flagle.io · Geography
Like Tradle, the picture is incomplete at first: a flag hidden under tiles opens up a square at a time, and you have six guesses before it is fully shown.
Viewdle
viewdle.org · Geography
Asks you to read clues from a scenic view instead of trade data; misses show how far off you are, so the narrowing works much like Tradle's.

Locatle
locatle.strct.net · Geography
For players who like deducing from evidence: you study one photograph for signs of the country, and every wrong pick reports its distance from where the photo was taken.

WhereTaken
wheretaken.teuteuf.fr · Geography
Trades the export chart for a photograph and asks for the country or territory it shows, with follow-up questions once you have it, from the developer behind Worldle.
Travle
travle.earth · Geography
Tests the knowledge Tradle's direction arrows depend on, which countries sit next to which, by asking you to chain neighbors from one country to another.
GeoGrid
geogridgame.com · Geography
Fills a grid with countries meeting two conditions each, such as membership in an alliance, a good outlet for players who know countries by their facts rather than their shapes.

Questions
What is a treemap in Tradle?
A treemap is a chart made of rectangles, each sized by its share of a total. In Tradle, every rectangle is a product a country sells abroad, so a big block of crude oil or soybeans dominates the picture. Reading the largest few boxes usually narrows the field faster than puzzling over the small ones.
Where does Tradle's data come from?
Tradle is hosted by the Observatory of Economic Complexity, a site that publishes international trade statistics, and its export charts are drawn from that data. Because the figures are real trade records, the game also works as a quick daily lesson in what different economies depend on.
What if I like the statistics more than the map?
Countryle checks each guess against the answer's population, temperature and other figures, and Juxtastat asks you to judge which of two places comes out higher on a census measure. Both keep numbers at the center of the puzzle, the way the export chart does in Tradle.
