Needs some more time.

Level 56

Oct 14, 2014

Good quiz, but I agree. Needs more time.

Level 62

Oct 15, 2014

Thanks for the suggestion - I've added another minute

+28

Level 48

Nov 16, 2016

Yes, I need about 30 minutes.

Level 56

Apr 27, 2020

For me this is a "see it at once or not at all" quiz. I don't mind the extra minute (or half-hour) but it doesn't help!

Level 60

Oct 7, 2023

I used the rest of the time to go through as many countries as I could per letter, but it didn't really feel in spirit with the quiz.

Level 75

Feb 18, 2021

Same for me Jon. I typed in the ones I could see immediately then just spent the rest of the time staring.

Level 75

Oct 21, 2014

Good quiz - harder than you'd think.

Level 75

Oct 21, 2014

Agree. Really enjoyed this.

Level 39

Apr 17, 2018

I also found most of them easier than I thought! :D

+10

Level 18

Oct 21, 2014

Thailand could have been confused with Trinidad!

+16

Level 62

Oct 21, 2014

...and Tobago, which would make the clue T - O. But that would in turn be confused with Togo!

Level 25

Oct 21, 2014

How do I add in tags to a user created quiz? Can't find any instructions anywhere

Level 33

Oct 21, 2014

beat it with ONE SECOND remaining on my first try :D

Level 82

Oct 21, 2014

Managed to miss Israel, though I'm currently in Israel, and I don't think there are more than two other countries in the world that start with I

Level 37

Oct 9, 2015

Italy :)

Level 54

Nov 16, 2016

iran iraq ireland iceland israel india indonesia italy : D

Just did the all countries quiz, slightly alphabetically.

Level 82

Sep 14, 2019

Now you can see why I missed the question.

Level 44

Oct 21, 2014

Great quiz. I bombed.

Level 59

Nov 14, 2016

Level 50

Oct 21, 2014

This was extremely difficult and fun... I loved it! Though I was extremely disappointed with 5 correct especially after seeing the answers.

Level 39

Oct 22, 2014

Wow. Great quiz.

Level 69

Oct 23, 2014

Brilliant! Loved it.

Level 37

Oct 23, 2014

This was much harder than anticipated. I found it impossible to recover once I got something stuck in my head. N----Y looked like New Jersey to me and U----E looked like United State and I just blanked. I managed 17.

Level 71

Apr 7, 2020

Yes, I had this, Martinique got stuck in there, then (I have been doing country tests in other languages) Macedoine, Maldive and so on and on.

Level 68

Dec 29, 2020

N....R looked like Norway to me, but I knew that was wrong, so I didn't try it when I cam to N...Y, where it would have been correct! Brains are stupid.

Level 50

Apr 14, 2024

I had the same thing with Norway. The NR looked like it but I just couldn’t think of the NY thing.

Level 66

Jan 9, 2021

My first thought was Niamey before I got the right answer.

Level 60

Oct 7, 2023

Same here. I also had Kalamata for K-T (doesn't even work), Dili for D-I, and "Malawe" for M-E.

Level 17

Oct 26, 2014

U and E could be confused with UAE

Level 72

Sep 15, 2019

Ends with an S.

Level 35

Oct 31, 2014

good format, can be used for anything, film titles, drinks, sports teams, will def use the format

Level 58

Jan 21, 2015

Couldn't G-N also be Great BritaiN?

Level 75

Jun 13, 2015

The country is United Kingdom, U...M.

Great Britain is only a part of United Kingdom, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Level 80

Aug 1, 2015

Technically, U...D: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the official name.

Level 68

Dec 29, 2020

Great Britain is actually an island which includes Scotland and Wales (and England, obviously), but not Northern Ireland, which is included in the UK.

Level 51

Jul 20, 2015

Great quiz! Got them all on the first try. But that's probably because of how many times I've taken the Countries of the World quiz. :)

Level 64

Dec 4, 2015

I'm from the Netherlands but I didn't get it. Embarrassing :P

Level 70

Sep 16, 2019

Same happened to me today, we're just not used to that extra s.

Level 88

Nov 16, 2022

Also, I usually say Holland (yeah I know, they're not the same but Holland is easier to say and everyone understands)

Level 74

Jan 19, 2016

Awesome quiz, really enjoyed it, thanks!

Level 71

Mar 28, 2016

Enjoyed the quiz, did not do too well, kept thinking of Capitals and mixing them up with Countries...... guess I'm Jetpunked.

Level 43

Jul 17, 2016

nice quizz ! but hard !

Level 59

Nov 14, 2016

Feel terrible after seeing the answers :-(

Level 69

Nov 14, 2016

I like this! Harder than one expects.

Level 65

Nov 14, 2016

Good Quiz from the Generali Geeks.

More time required please....we're a bit slow.

Level 69

Nov 14, 2016

Trinidad?

Level 55

Nov 14, 2016

and what happened to Tobago?

Level 74

Nov 14, 2016

Amazing how many of these got me thinking of capitals instead: Niamey, Paris, Jakarta, Belgrade, Seoul all occurred to me before the country did

Level 62

Nov 14, 2016

This is the quiz is for you, then!

Level 64

Nov 15, 2016

Dhaka

Level 55

Oct 5, 2023

I couldn’t stop seeing capitals too! Also Mbabane and Dili

Level 64

Nov 15, 2016

I would have loved to see M_____R for Myanmar...just for the comments. >:D

Level 45

Nov 16, 2016

MadagascaR

Level 45

Nov 16, 2016

Loved this. I got them all right but did it with unlimited time. Wish there were more obscure countries. But great job!!

Level 48

Nov 16, 2016

I would like to be the 6th person to say 'what about Trinidad'?, despite it having been asked and answered 5 times already.

Level 45

Nov 16, 2016

Good quiz. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Level 37

Apr 25, 2017

Great Quiz!!!

Level 66

Oct 4, 2017

My wife is from Vietnam and I only got it with 10 seconds left. Could have been embarassing...

Level 68

Oct 5, 2017

I finally got it after trying multiple (double digit) times. I can't believe it took me so long to come up with Israel. Agree also that I would get something in my head like Jakarta and have the hardest time getting it out.

Level 67

Feb 25, 2018

Got em all with 56 secs left. I'm surprised the average score is only 12. :-O

Level 61

Apr 6, 2019

Eswatini???

Level 62

Apr 6, 2019

Formerly Swaziland.

Level 47

Sep 14, 2019

really got us with that one :)

Level 66

Apr 17, 2019

Great quiz! I know my world map and couldn't complete. Good challenge! I agree that about a minute more wold be beneficial.

Level 67

Sep 14, 2019

Got Eswatini.

Level 66

Nov 16, 2022

And Lesotho

Level 60

Apr 21, 2023

Easy, because it's got such a unique name

Level 69

Sep 15, 2019

Trinidad?

Level 62

Sep 15, 2019

Clearly you haven't learnt anything since you posted the exact same comment almost three years ago.

Level 67

Nov 27, 2019

Hahah

Level 69

Oct 29, 2019

This is surprisingly hard! I can easily get 100% in "Countries of the world" but here, I look at first and last letter and I recall 3 or 4 countries starting with that letter but none of them fits. Then I think "what the hell, how it's not any of those?!". Then I get stuck and can't recall any more. Then I go to another and the same story.

Only got 16/24 the first time, and the second time, a couple of weeks later, merely 13/24, I thought I would be easily able to get like 22/24, maybe unable to recall the odd one in time but the majority should be no problem, but apparently it was.

Level 67

Apr 22, 2020

It's funny how a brain works. I always suck at these quizzes with given but mixed-up letters, starring at these letters for ages and always missing some words. But here, with only 2 letters given it was quite easy, got 100% on the first try. Freaky.

Level 35

Nov 26, 2020

what is the real spelling Netherland or Netherlands?

Level 77

Dec 10, 2020

Nederland

Level 79

Jan 9, 2021

Netherlands in English

Level 67

Apr 7, 2024

"Nederland" in its native language (Dutch/Nederlands)

"The Netherlands" in English, but this site drops the "the"

Level 50

Apr 14, 2024

In English, the “the” is just how the language works. Like it the name of the United States building where the president works is “White House” but we have to add “the” before it. That’s also why the “the” is not capitalized.

Level 67

Apr 14, 2024

Yea it is the same in my language. I would argue though that the name is "the White House" not just white house, it really doesn't work without the the. But yea for other examples it works and I get what you are saying.

Though I think in the case of the Netherlands it is different. Since it is short for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. (atleast on this site, since here they use the sovereign country and not constituent countries. Like they use UK and not England) And basically it says "the (collection of) lands" just lands would be odd.

I am fine with or without the "the" by the way, it was just a remark I didn't mean anything by it, was just explaining the name (referring to my original comment). But since you replied, I thought I'd respond :)

Level 64

UE can be UAE but its not

UAE ends with a S!

Nov 12, 2022

d-i could be djibouti. maybe fix it

Jun 14, 2023

that's the answer?

Level 52

Apr 14, 2024

dSwatini

Level 67

Nov 16, 2022

I don't get how everyone can't get at least 22/24 on this quiz. The fact that the average score is 13/24 blows my mind. 🤯

Level 50

Nov 15, 2023

You either get it or you don’t. I got 19/24 in the first minute then spent the rest of the time staring at the screen.

Level 43

Nov 16, 2022

Wow, much harder than I expected

Level 71

Nov 16, 2022

I did surprisingly poorly, my brain just doesn't work this way.

Level 67

Nov 16, 2022

Trinidad?

Level 62

Nov 17, 2022

Oh dear.

Level 50

Apr 14, 2024

And Tobago.

Level 66

Nov 17, 2022

more please

Level 28

Nov 17, 2022

boo

Level 60

Apr 21, 2023

24/24 with 4 seconds to spare, even though I done it fast. Was a harsh time limit.

Level 76

Apr 14, 2024

Trinidad (no Tobago) should work for T/D. Who even cares about Tobago? It's the Herzegovina of the Caribbean!

Level 43

Apr 14, 2024

Good quiz

Level 39

Apr 14, 2024

Jordana and Jamaica are both starting J and ending A.

Level 54

Apr 14, 2024

In English it's "Jordan"

Level 32

Apr 14, 2024

I can't believe I didn't get Netherlands (I'm Dutch)

Level 54

Apr 14, 2024

I missed it too (I'm Scandinavian), I always think it as "Holland", not as the Netherlands.

Level 52

Apr 14, 2024

My first thought for N___Y was Nicaraguay

Level 68
