hard, but definitely worth sticking at! i suggest a little more time. also i don’t know if this is just a mobile thing but the clues and the answers are definitely not in alphabetical order - eg theres vancouver, jerusalem, zurich.

This is fun! I think maybe that Dar and Rio are a bit too lenient of type-ins on this one since they're on the tiles provided, anyway, but my score appreciated the help! Also this quiz is WAY better to take on a computer than it is on a smart phone. Nominated.

Slow coach, I finished in 5:58!

I was sure I wasn't going to make it, but it gets easier as you go through it. I was able to use the alphabetical list to work out the starting letters of my final three, which helped a lot.

Superb quiz!

He means not accepting “Dar” and “Rio” and instead having to type out Dar es Salaam and Rio de Janeiro, respectively.
