01Why Greenland? The Export Fingerprint
This is a textbook single-engine economy: Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs alone accounts for 80% of everything Greenland sells abroad. When one block swallows half the treemap, the candidate list collapses fast.
| # | Export category | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs | $1.3B | 80.1% |
| 2 | Preparations of fish, crustacenas, & molluscs | $262M | 15.7% |
| 3 | Ships, boats, & floating structures | $28M | 1.7% |
| 4 | Precious stones, metals, & pearls | $9M | 0.5% |
| 5 | Animal originated products, n.e.s. | $6M | 0.3% |
Total exports: $1.7B (BACI, 2023 trade flows). The treemap you played is drawn from exactly these numbers.
Together the top five categories cover 98% of Greenland's export basket — the rest of the chart splinters into the small mosaic blocks along the edge. In Tradle terms: the skill was recognizing the big blocks, not memorizing the fringe.
02How to Solve It
Lead with the giant block. Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs narrows the world to a short list of exporters; one anchor guess in North America plus the distance clue should close it within three tries.
If you used the hint ladder above, the ideal exit was Hint 3 — the top export practically names the country. Every 1% of proximity equals roughly 200 km, so read your percentage as a radius, not a verdict.
The general method — anchor guess, arrow, proximity math — is covered in our how to play Tradle guide, and the signature-exports cheat sheet lives in the strategy section.
