Reading a Tradle Export Treemap

Tradle scores geography, not spelling. Each tile in the treemap is a product the country exports, sized by its share of total exports and coloured by category. A map ruled by one giant tile — crude, gold, coffee — signals a specialised economy; a patchwork of small tiles signals a diversified one. On #1587 you read that fingerprint first, then use the distance and direction feedback to pin the country.

Tips to Solve Tradle Faster

  • Name the top category first. Minerals, machinery, agriculture, or textiles narrows the globe fast.
  • Trust the direction arrow. One wrong guess eliminates a whole region.
  • Read the top partner. The biggest buyer usually reveals the neighbourhood.
