How to solve today’s Tradle
duplixo’s free daily Tradle for October 27, 2026 is a re-export, electronics and energy hub. Its export treemap is led by refined petroleum (8%), which is the clearest fingerprint to read first. Five graduated hints sit below; the worked solution is revealed further down whenever you are ready.
Need a nudge? Five graduated hints
Hint 1 Continent Reveal
The country sits in Europe — so a guess from another continent will read as very distant.
Hint 2 Region Reveal
More precisely, it is in the northwest of Europe. Let the distance and direction from your guesses pull you toward it.
Hint 3 Economy type Reveal
Its economy is a re-export, electronics and energy hub — read the treemap with that in mind.
Hint 4 Top export Reveal
Its single largest export is refined petroleum, about 8% of everything it ships.
Hint 5 First letter Reveal
The country’s name begins with the letter N and has 11 letters.

How Tradle works
Tradle shows you the export treemap of one mystery country — a proportional map where each rectangle is a category of merchandise exports, sized by its share of the total. Your job is to read that economic fingerprint and name the country in six guesses.
Every guess must be a real country, and each one returns three clues: the distance from your guess to the answer as the crow flies, the compass direction you would travel toward it, and a proximity score that climbs to 100% as you close in. Use a couple of well-spread early guesses to triangulate, then let distance and direction walk you onto the right country.
How this page is built
The Tradle puzzle on this page is generated by duplixo from current OEC export-share data, and the distance, direction and proximity feedback is computed from each country’s mapped centroid.

Tradle answer FAQ
What is the export treemap in Tradle?
It is a proportional map of a country’s merchandise exports: each rectangle is a category of goods, sized by its share of the total. Read the biggest blocks first — they are the clearest fingerprint of an economy — then use the smaller ones to separate similar countries.
How do the distance and direction clues work?
After each guess we show the great-circle distance between your guess and the mystery country, the compass direction you would travel from your guess toward the answer, and a proximity score where 100% means an exact match. Triangulate with two or three guesses to close in fast.
How many guesses do you get in Tradle?
Six. Each guess must be a real country chosen from the suggestion list, and every guess returns distance, direction and proximity feedback. If you do not name the country within six tries, the answer is revealed and your streak resets.
Is there an archive of past Tradle answers?
Yes. We keep a dated archive of previous Tradle answers, and a new puzzle unlocks at midnight. Our unlimited practice mode serves a fresh country whenever you want more reps.
Is this the official Tradle board?
No. duplixo publishes its own free Tradle board every day, with the same rules and unlimited practice, plus this how-to-solve guide and a worked solution. It is independent and not affiliated with the makers of Tradle. For the exact official daily puzzle, play on the official Tradle site; to learn the method or practise without limits, you are in the right place.
Learned the method? Now name it cold.
The fastest read today is the biggest block. With refined petroleum at roughly 8% — alongside broadcasting equip. — the treemap points squarely at re-export, electronics and energy hub, which narrows the field quickly.
From there it is a geography problem: open with a well-spread guess, then let the distance reading and the direction arrow walk you toward the northwest of Europe. Players who ignored the arrow and chased a similar-looking economy on the wrong continent are the ones who burned guesses.
