Energle
What is Energle?
Energle is a web-based guessing game that challenges you to identify a country from its electricity generation statistics. Instead of flags or maps, the clues come from national energy data. A new puzzle becomes available once the underlying energy dataset has loaded.
How to play Energle
Review the electricity generation figures presented at the start of the round and use them to infer which country they belong to. Enter your guess and compare it with the clues to see how close you are. The game is played entirely in the browser at energle.org.
Tips & strategy
- Start with the overall scale of generation: huge totals usually point to large, industrialized countries.
- Think about the energy mix hinted at in the data, such as heavy coal, hydro, nuclear, or renewables.
- Use regional elimination: if the numbers suggest a specific continent, narrow down from there.
- Remember that small countries can have big per capita or surprising generation profiles.
- Pay attention to any ranking or relative figures if shown, since they can help separate similar countries.
