How I Found Norway: My Solving Journey
Here’s my step-by-step process for solving today’s Globle, which took 9 attempts:
Attempt 1: India
Started with a large Asian country to get oriented:
- Result: Cold (very far from target)
- This told me the answer wasn’t in South Asia
- Time to look elsewhere on the globe
Attempt 2: Japan
Tried East Asia to test that region:
- Result: Cool (still quite far)
- Not in East Asia either
- The cooler color suggested moving away from this region
Attempt 3: Mongolia
Testing Central Asia:
- Result: Getting warmer
- This was progress! Moving in the right direction
- The target was somewhere northwest of Mongolia
Attempt 4: Russia
Guessed the massive country spanning Europe and Asia:
- Result: Warm/Hot (much closer!)
- Now we’re getting somewhere
- The answer was likely in or near Russia, possibly in Northern Europe
Attempt 5: Finland
Narrowing down to Northern Europe:
- Result: Very hot! (very close now)
- Finland borders several Scandinavian countries
- The target was definitely in this region
Attempt 6: Sweden
Testing Sweden, Finland’s western neighbor:
- Result: Extremely hot! (so close!)
- Sweden is right in the Scandinavian Peninsula
- The answer had to be a nearby country
Attempt 7: Estonia
Tried the Baltic state south of Finland:
- Result: Hot but not as hot as Sweden
- Wrong direction—need to stay in Scandinavia
- Back to countries near Sweden
Attempt 8: Latvia
Another Baltic attempt:
- Result: Cooler than Estonia
- Moving further from the target
- Definitely need to focus on Scandinavia proper
Attempt 9: Norway
Finally guessed Sweden’s western neighbor:
- Result: Correct! 🎉
- Norway was the answer all along
- Should have tried it right after Sweden!

About Norway
Norway is one of Europe’s most spectacular countries, offering a unique combination of natural beauty, modern prosperity, and rich cultural heritage.
Geography and Landscape
Norway’s geography is truly remarkable:
Coastline: With over 25,000 kilometers of coastline (including islands), Norway has one of the longest and most intricate coastlines in the world. The famous Norwegian fjords—deep valleys carved by glaciers and filled with seawater—are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Mountains: The Scandinavian Mountains run through much of Norway, creating dramatic landscapes. Famous peaks and formations include Trolltunga, Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), and Galdhøpiggen (Norway’s highest mountain at 2,469 meters).
Arctic Territory: Norway extends far into the Arctic, including the Svalbard archipelago, one of the northernmost inhabited areas on Earth.
Islands: Norway comprises thousands of islands, including the stunning Lofoten Islands, famous for their dramatic scenery and midnight sun.
Major Cities
Oslo: The capital and largest city, home to about 700,000 people. Known for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, Viking Ship Museum, and modern architecture.
Bergen: Norway’s second-largest city, gateway to the fjords, and home to the colorful Bryggen wharf (a UNESCO World Heritage site).
Trondheim: Historic city and Norway’s third-largest, founded by Viking king Olav Tryggvason in 997.
Tromsø: The largest city in Northern Norway, known as the gateway to the Arctic and a prime location for viewing the northern lights.
Stavanger: Oil capital of Norway, with beautiful old wooden houses and proximity to stunning natural attractions.
Economy and Wealth
Norway is one of the world’s wealthiest nations, thanks largely to:

Winter Sports: Norway dominates Winter Olympics medal counts, excelling in cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping.
Sami Culture: Indigenous Sami people have inhabited northern Norway for thousands of years, maintaining their unique language and traditions.
Why Norway Can Be Tricky in Globle
Today’s answer presented several challenges:
Elongated Shape: Norway’s unusual shape—long and narrow along the Scandinavian Peninsula—can make it easy to overlook.
Scandinavian Cluster: Sweden, Norway, and Finland are all close together, requiring precise guesses to differentiate.
Northern Location: Players often focus on more centrally located European countries first.
Similar Heat Signals: Countries in Northern Europe give similar color signals, making it hard to pinpoint the exact answer.
My Mistake: After getting very hot with Sweden, I should have immediately tried Norway instead of wandering to the Baltic states!
Strategies for Playing Globle
Learn from my solving journey with these Globle strategies:
Start with Continental Anchors
Begin with large countries in different regions:
- Asia: China, India, Russia
- Americas: USA, Brazil
- Europe: Russia (also Asia), Germany
- Africa: Nigeria, South Africa
My India-Japan-Mongolia-Russia progression helped me zero in on Northern Europe.
Understand the Color System
- Deep red/hot: You’re very close (like Finland and Sweden were for Norway)
- Orange/warm: You’re in the right region
- Yellow: Getting closer
- Cool colors: Wrong continent or far away
- Very cold: Opposite side of the globe
Regional Narrowing
Once you identify the region (Northern Europe in this case), systematically test countries in that area:
- Start with the largest countries (Russia)
- Move to regional powers (Finland, Sweden)
- Test neighboring countries (Norway, Denmark)
Learn Geographic Clusters
Understanding which countries border each other is crucial:
- Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden, Denmark (Finland often included)
- Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
- Balkans: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, etc.
- Central America: All those small countries between Mexico and Colombia
Don’t Overthink It
After Sweden showed extremely hot, the logical next guess was Norway—its direct neighbor. I overcomplicated things by trying Estonia and Latvia. Trust the heat signals and think about immediate neighbors.
