Aargh...20/21! I was thinking 'spine' as in a pointy thing, like porcupine spines. I'm an idiot...

The third from the last clue. Interesting that you chose "in" rather than "to".

The last clue got me on the right track for the puzzle location. Kept wanting the answer to be Hindenburg.

I also kept trying Hindenburg several times before realizing that it was too many letters....

Again, first thing I saw was Hindeburg and could not unsee it.. (and yes I know it actually needs an extra n)

"Street, in France" should be replaced by "Street, in French".

Lion's lair, not hair. And there isn't even an "a"!

Any drilling equipment, on land or offshore, is referred to as a rig. The offshore structure is typically called a platform.

I had no idea what was being asked for by 'Geographically behind' and 'Geographically to the rear'. How are those answers specifically geographical? They just seem like straight up synonyms.

I was also confused at first. I tried south for geographically beneath (without scrolling up to look at the available letters) but then I eventually worked it out. I think “physically” might be a better word than “geographically”.

Ridge perhaps as an answer? Ofcourse there are many words to make still, but this one would fit in really well in a geography quiz

Got stuck on the 9-letter place after I made up the concept of a place called Hinduberg. Took way to long to clear that thought, but eventually got the real answer.

Could you please accept Erg for sand hill? This might be a specific term but it's every bit as accurate for describing a sand hill than the current answer, and it's possible to create the word with the allowed letters.

I liked these quizzes, but they should have finished at #4. The previous one (#5 I think - what happened to #6 and #7?) had the ridiculous "Geographically close" clue which signalled the jumping of the shark. This one just went off the scale with that, in addition to some dubious others (grid, guide(!), den).

Quit while you're ahead, kids.

Will you be okay? Do I need to give you a number to call for emotional support?

Those two clues were definitely a stretch, I'll admit. Finding 20 good geographical answers in each of these puzzles was challenging. I opted for those ones because I just liked the fact that the two related answers could both be made with the given letters. Those were desperate times. #6 and #7 in the series were done by jerry928.
