Feb 23, 2013

Finally spelled Afghanistan correctly with four seconds left.

Level 38

Jun 20, 2015

if you are an aussie around 12+ (i happen to be twelve) you would know how to due to Australia's extensive military campaigns in Afghanistan. And BTW, no i didn't get help spelling those 'long' words!

Level 23

Nov 5, 2015

I'm 12. I got them all. Age shouldn't matter in this quiz.

Af gha ni stan

Level 48

Feb 9, 2017

I don't believe that anyone has ever spelt Afganistan correctly

Level 84

Mar 1, 2017

I don't understand that why does spelling Afghanistan is such a big deal to people. I mean I really don't understand. I'm from Turkey so my native language is Turkish and we write this country as Afganistan so I only add an h after the g. What is the issue with English speakers? Does it sound strange to you?

For me hardest spelling ones are Liechtenstein(Lihtenştayn in Turkish), Kyrgyzstan (Kırgızistan yes we have ı without dot and capital İ with dot) and I don't know why but Mauritania(Moritanya).

Level 44

Jan 6, 2021

i have always spelt it corectly

Level 30

Aug 5, 2023

dang, too bad you can't spell the word 'correctly' correctly :/

lol finished with 1 second left.

Level 58

Oct 7, 2013

Has anyone else noticed that the majority of countries beginning with A also end in A?

Level 67

Oct 29, 2013

...And if the Americas are counted as just one, all the continents start and end with the same letter. Europe starts and ends with "E," all the others start and end with "A."

Level 75

Jun 20, 2016

If you count the Americas as one, then you have to count Europe and Asia as one, and then it doesn't work.

Level 65

Dec 5, 2016

If you can count Africa, Europe, and Asia as one, then it will work

Level 46

May 8, 2017

Actually, @awesomeandy1000, that would not work. Europe and Asia were mentioned as one because their previous name was "Eurasia."

Level 59

Jul 31, 2023

Oceania says otherwise :)

Level 68

All except Azerbaijan, and Afghanistan.

Level 19

Jan 26, 2014

I typed in America, wondering why it wouldn't work. Pls add America.

+10

Level 56

Jan 28, 2014

The proper name for our country is United States of America. Most Americans refer to it as the US or United States.

+30

Level 38

Oct 26, 2014

It wouldn't work since the correct spelling is 'Murica

Level 39

Jun 17, 2015

Yeah as a joke right?

Level 52

Level 55

Level 52

Aug 9, 2017

I want someone to give me a chart of how memory of Azerbaijan improved after it got an F1 race.

Level 37

Nov 6, 2017

Azerbaijan is such a strange name that it sticks with you; to the point that you forget the easy ones, like I did with Andorra.

Level 37

Nov 29, 2017

They probably meant that they missed it.

Level 20

Jun 22, 2017

Got everything except Austria!!! I hate myself

Level 35

Jun 25, 2017

America.... or United States of.... most countries are called Federal Republic of... Kingdom of... United Kingdom of.... Democratic Peoples something or other...add in the odd Principality/Duchy/Commonwealth of... its another ambiguous one, like in the B countries quiz with Burma-Myanmar, we all know what it is, and there's more than one name that's used in common language.

I tried this quiz and used the proper name Islamic Republic of Afghanistan... it didn't work. Also tried the "Countries beginning with I" using Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, its proper name. It didn't work.

In the "Countries Beginning with U" both United States and United Kingdom were good, but in the Countries Beginning with G", Great Britain didn't work.

We're all smart cookies on here, if one doesnt work, we see the quiz writer has used the other. It's fine. Worse things are happening in the World.

Level 40

Jan 28, 2018

Great Britain is not a country. Great Britain is a term used to say "United Kingdom and Ireland".

Level 24

Feb 6, 2018

Incorrect. It is The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not a part of Great Britain, even if they did compete in Team GB in the Olympics.

Team GB (BOA) is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Level 46

May 16, 2022

Great Britain is an island with Scotland, Wales, and England. The UK is Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales

Level 75

Apr 18, 2021

It's amazing how many people from the US don't know what the name of their country actually means. "America" is not the name and "United States" is not equivalent to the "Republic of" cases; in fact it means "United States of the continent of America", since the name was applied to the whole continent (both north and south) centuries before the country was born. Meaning "America" indicates geographical location. It's equivalent to the United Kingdom of Great Britain, where "Great Britain" is the geographical location (the island) where the country is located. That's why it's GB *and* Northern Ireland, cause the latter isn't part of the former.

So, funnily enough, strictly speaking neither country has an actual name for their land, so to speak, since the first part of the name indicates political constitution, and the second part indicates geographical location.

Level 77

Jun 28, 2017

I forgot Australia and Argentina... Why...

Level 37

Jul 6, 2017

THANK YOU, Gamer1162: You are the only commenter (that I've come across) who accurately defined the relationships between Aruba, Curacao, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands! -

Level 41

Jul 6, 2017

oh dear lol

Level 59

Jul 12, 2017

why america is not in there :\

Level 18

Jul 18, 2017

That is because America is known as the United States of America to the world so that is not included here, but in the Countries that start with U Quiz.

Level 37

Aug 7, 2017

How arrogant! A better (and more accurate) response would have been "Because America is a Continent and not a Nation." -

Level 24

Feb 6, 2018

@ divantilya Your comment is neither better nor more accurate, the continental name would be North America, which incidentally would encompass Antigua & Barbuda (amongst many others). Sophia458 is correct. Maybe more to the point, how did you get to level 40 thinking America was the name of a continent?

Level 57

Mar 21, 2018

@ianb23ss Only American don't consider America as a continent, the entire rest of the world consider it as such:

Why isn't it accepting it when I type in Africa?

Aruba?

Level 88

Jan 2, 2019

This quiz uses the word "countries" in the sense of sovereign nations. Aruba is a constituent of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and not a sovereign nation.

Level 44
