Connectrade

Connectrade is a daily geography + economics puzzle from the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC). The gameplay is similar to the Connections game from the New York Times.

How it works:

• You’re shown a grid of export products (cars, refined copper, fish oil, etc.).
• Your task: match a set of 4 products to the correct exporting country.
• Multiple countries are in play, group the exports until all are assigned.
• Each wrong submission costs you a life, so use your guesses wisely.

Why we like it:

• ✅A clever twist on trade + geography knowledge.
• ✅Highlights surprising exports you didn’t know about.
• ✅Feels like trivia meets logic grouping meets Economics 101.

Hint: Look for simple associations/pairings first.
