I got a hard set. Got 11.

Level 78

Jun 5, 2013

For some reason "Amsterdam" doesn't seem to work

+1

Level 32

Sep 20, 2020

Amsterdam

Level 82

Jun 10, 2013

Very hard given the time limit.

+1

Level 72

Nov 5, 2015

This.

Level 53

Nov 5, 2015

Agree. Need at least another minute.

+1

Level 55

Jun 10, 2013

Ya for some reason Amsterdam isn't being accepted for me either.

+1

Level ∞

Jun 10, 2013

Fixed

+1

Level 73

Jun 10, 2013

I got 14 on first try - not enough time for me to work the others out.

+3

Level 71

Jun 10, 2013

Got so excited on my 5th try or so because I blew threw the first 17 (my high score)...then with even almost a minute left, the last 3 left me stumped. Fiddlesticks.

+1

Level 37

Jun 10, 2013

After many tries, the best I can get is 17. Great quiz!

+1

Level 50

Jun 10, 2013

All 18 with 1:07 remaining.

+1

Level 32

Jun 10, 2013

I got Dili (liid) without even knowing what this is... just by trying combinations. And agree to the comment above ;)

+2

Level 43

Jun 10, 2013

Shouldn't It Be Called "Word Scramble-International Capitals"?

+6

Level 48

Aug 8, 2014

No, the answers are capitals of nations, not 'internations'.

+4

Level ∞

Jun 10, 2013

Finally got 20! Took me about 30 tries.

+2

Level 50

Jun 10, 2013

Way to pick the most random of world capitals....

+9

Level ∞

Jun 11, 2013

The answers change every time, so yes they are indeed random.

+1

Level 82

Feb 3, 2014

That would indeed be the way to do it, then. :)

+2

Level 33

Jul 30, 2014

Indeed.

Level 44

Nov 7, 2015

Indeed

Level 76

Sep 10, 2017

Whee

+3

Level 68

Jun 11, 2013

I tried to spell Ulaanbaatar with 5 seconds and pretty much failed. Oops

+1

Level 74

Jun 7, 2019

You could write 'Ulan Bator'.

+1

Level 70

Sep 22, 2013

Just noticed that the scrambles change every time too! Or you did a really bad job at scrambling Rome, because the one I just got was "rome".

+2

Level 45

Sep 18, 2017

same thing happened to me with dili and kiev

+1

Level 57

Dec 7, 2017

Same thing with Ottawa

+1

Level 45

Dec 3, 2020

Same thing with Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte. Just lucky I guess. ;)

+1

Level 51

Oct 1, 2021

I got Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Bandar Seri Bagawan, Ouagadougou, Yamoussoukro, Andorra La Vella, Podgorica, Montevideo, Basseterre, Wellington, and Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit all scrambled the exact order!

+2

Level 47

Feb 2, 2018

It's random, so with only a few letters, it's possible that it will more likely spell out the name correctly (vis-à-vis a longer name, although that's possible as well).

+1

Level 46

Oct 6, 2013

After 10 tries, I managed to solve it with 1:16 time left.

Amazing quiz!

+1

Level 46

Oct 7, 2013

20/20 with 1:47 left - my personal best.

+3

Level 48

Oct 24, 2013

Couldn't pass 11/20 for the first four tries and then I suddenly got 20! YAY!

+3

Level 82

Nov 5, 2013

20/20!!! Lost count of the number of tries. Great idea for a quiz.

+3

Level 71

Jan 9, 2014

TEHERAN should be accepted as Iran´s capital too, not only TEHRAN

+3

Level 75

Feb 10, 2017

What next? WASHINGETON?

+2

Level 30

Mar 18, 2020

Don´t laugh because it is not a bad spelling. Teheran is correct and in most of the languages is written as Teheran.

"Tehran or Teheran (/tɛəˈræn, -ˈrɑːn, ˌteɪə-/; Persian: تهران‎ Ťehrân [tehˈɾɒːn] (About this soundlisten)) is the capital of Iran and Tehran Province". Wikipedia, Britannica...

+3

Level 54

Jun 13, 2017

Or LONEDON?

+1

Level 46

Sep 15, 2017

I actually do agree with this, but that is because I have Teheran stuck in my head due to the Atlanta Braves starting pitcher, Julio Teheran. So, those who are Braves fans may also get mixed up with it. Now, I do understand that last names of baseball players doesn't count as to accept an incorrect spelling of a word.

+2

Level 71

Jan 11, 2014

Careful, AMMAN and MANAMA have the same letters...

+4

Level 48

Aug 8, 2014

Yes, and so do JUBA and ABUJA

+13

Level 82

Feb 3, 2014

Wasted a lot of time stumped on "Tarawa"... stupid Kiribati... I'll have me revenge when my gas guzzling car sends your island nation below the Pacific..

Level 42

Jul 21, 2017

Hahaha, nice one.

+1

Level 20

Mar 2, 2014

I got 100% it took me 20 tries though :p

+1

Level 42

Mar 21, 2014

What is the criteria for a correct answer? I guessed correctly on most of the questions, but for some reason only Dili was accepted. Useless

+2

Level 73

Apr 9, 2018

Yellow box...

+1

Level 38

Aug 12, 2018

What are the criteria, you should say?

+1

Level 55

Apr 20, 2014

19/20. I've never even HEARD of Chisinau.

+1

Level 40

Nov 18, 2017

It is the capital city of Moldova(landlocked country in Europe)

+1

Level 78

Apr 24, 2014

14/20. 'Cairo" came "scrambled" as 'Cairo', but I don't think that would have made a difference.

+1

Level 81

Apr 7, 2018

Lima was scrambled as "lima" too.

+2

Level 46

Dec 11, 2018

mine came as Mali and I was dumb enough to actually type in Mali (to be fair, I was just doing the word scramble-countries).

+2

Level 43

Jun 8, 2014

Got all in 15th try!

My winnig set: Ljubljana, Tokyo, Skopje, Harare, Niamey, London, Asmara, Juba, Baku, Luxembourg, Zagreb, Moroni, Tegucigalpa, Apia, Kiev, Dublin, Antananarivo, Dushanbe, Luanda, Damascus

+1

Level 38

Jun 10, 2014

20/20 first try

not too bad

+1

Level 66

Dec 22, 2016

Did not!

+1

Level 33

Aug 12, 2014

Are some of these even capital cities ?

+2

Level 76

Sep 10, 2017

Yes, and almost all of them are outside of your country.

+1

Level 43

Aug 22, 2014

Really hard. Sometimes it would be crazy easy, and then the capital of the Solomon islands would be thrown in. Ugh. Took a while to get 20/20. Fun!

+5

Level 89

Aug 23, 2014

After a zillion tries after hours upon hours for two days, I finally got 20/20. I hate everyone and everything.

+1

Level 66

Dec 22, 2016

Am still trying. Can get 19, but not 20, arrgghhh!

+2

Level 73

Nov 5, 2015

Could have done with an extra couple of minutes but good quiz.

+1

Level 73

Nov 5, 2015

I'm pretty good on capitals but poor on anagrams so this is great for me to get better at anagrams! 15 on my first go :-)

+1

Level 81

Nov 5, 2015

Damn. 19 and the one I missed was ATHENS!

+1

Level 64

Nov 5, 2015

The scramble word for moroni in my screen looks like: momoi, could you please change the order of the words QM? Cheers :)

+1

Level 76

Sep 10, 2017

The mixing of the letters is automated -- talk to the computer.

+1

Level 33

Nov 5, 2015

kathmandu wasnt goin thru

+1

Level 75

Nov 5, 2015

The usual mis-spellings are allowed, even though the letters are all fed to you!

+1

Level 58

Nov 5, 2015

Rawr on you, Ljubljana. Could not remember where all the L's and J's go.

+1

Level 63

Nov 5, 2015

Finally! - awesome quiz my favorite in while.

I was getting down to the last one or two for a while, but found it helpful to type in the letters in a different order for a fresh perspective.

+1

Level 49

Nov 5, 2015

rnmoovia seemed for me like mmoovia and i just couldn't get it. Maybe you should seperate r and n.

+2

Level 61

Nov 5, 2015

When you're stumped until you give up and you know you should have known the answer, you just want to kick yourself. I, for example, missed Riga when I've known that for, let's say, 3 years. And I'm 12!!!

+1

Level 44

Nov 7, 2015

Tokyo wasn't scrambled. Yay!

+1

Level 40

Nov 8, 2015

Finally, 20/20, with 40 seconds remaining. This quiz is so infuriating. Haha.

+1

Level 67

Nov 9, 2015

Yes! Finally! After playing this on my lunch break for days, I got 20/20. Now that I've learned some of the more obscure capitals, I have to go look up where they are.

+2

Level 70

Nov 10, 2015

1:47 left. I just can't type faster than that without risking a few fingernails.

+1

Level 55

Nov 14, 2015

I enjoy this quiz very much and usually get all the answers. I find the font is very difficult - r n looks like m and l looks like i, for example.

Could it be re-cast in a more distinctive font?

+1

Level 76

Sep 10, 2017

I have to agree - sans serif fonts are much harder to read than serif fonts. Making the text bigger in my browser is a pain most of the time since I watch movies while I do quizzes. #woeisme

+1

Level 58

Dec 3, 2015

Ankara's clue was "Ankara". Can't get any easier than that.

+1

Level 64

Mar 17, 2016

I saw uaaougoudgo and knew it was Ouuagadougou, but couldn't figure out how to spell it. Wound up with a score of 6/20.

+1

Level 78

Apr 7, 2018

Same here, except I finally managed a score of 10/20. Oogadoogou, Ougadougu, Oagudougu, bah. At least on this one the spelling police should be happy. It only accepts exact spellings due to the nature of the quiz.

+1

Level 46

Nov 11, 2019

Not that it will help you two now, but Ouaga is an accepted shorthand name.

+1

Level 63

Apr 21, 2016

16 for me

Level 62

Jun 5, 2016

After about 20 tries I got it with 0:03 left

Level 79

Oct 12, 2016

19, even though I had a minute to figure out Podgorica. Somehow I always think about non-European places when I'm stuck

+1

Level 65

Oct 15, 2016

"berlin" and "apia", seriously?

+1

Level 52

Nov 17, 2016

Challenging quiz. Got 18, then 19, then finally 20 on 3rd effort with 4 secs left. Good one for helping me to learn the capitals and how to spell it

+1

Level 46

Dec 6, 2016

I got lucky and I got all 20 with 1:30 left. Man, I'm good at geography :D

Just moved onto here after finishing world capitals. Still so challenging, finally got 20 after tens of attempts

Level 30

Feb 8, 2017

I am just SO glad that Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte wasn't in there

Level 55

Mar 11, 2017

This is nearly impossible in two and a half minutes

+1

Level 53

Mar 26, 2017

Took me like a hundred times, finnaly got the Random Geography badge! I even learned some new cities from this quiz.

+1

Level 50

May 9, 2017

Okay, folks, we get it that sometimes a 4 or 5 letter capitol randomly comes up in the right order. Get back to us when you get 'Yamoussoukro' coming up randomly as 'Yamoussoukro'.

+1

Level 63

Feb 25, 2019

But how do you know, if every 'o' is on his correct spot then?!

+1

Level 23

HARDEST BADGE EVER TO GET

+1

Level 73

Apr 9, 2018

It's odd that this quiz accepts mispellings. I mean, they do give you all the letters...

Level 45

Sep 16, 2018

Cotonou? should be Porto Novo

anyway great quiz

+1

Level 59

Sep 29, 2018

Cotonou and Porto Novo are both often considered the capital of Benin, but Porto Novo probably moreso.

No many how many times I do it there's always one or two I just can't get and it's so frustrating, I need this quiz for a badge :/

Since when Sucre is the capital of Bolivia?? I do not know who has created this, but it should know it is La Paz

+1

Level 67

May 6, 2020

On JetPunk, Bolivia is generally accredited with having capitals in both La Paz AND Sucre. According to the Googles: La Paz is the seat of the government, and Sucre is the legal capital and the seat of the judiciary. Hope this helps :)

Level 71

Jun 1, 2020

This one gets no easier with practice, and that is its beauty.

Scraped through on second attempt with Sucre, Victoria and Gitega being the last ones in.

Level 56

Jun 11, 2020

Cotonou isn’t the capital of Benin. Porto-Novo is.

+1

Level 59

Jul 12, 2020

The quiz is random but those scrambled words are shown before the user clicks "Start quiz", hence there is time to make some preparation.

+1

Level 58

Aug 10, 2020

This is my last quiz for my last badge and I cannot do it. I struggle with capitals AND word scrambles. You can't even cheat this one!1

+1

Level 65

Oct 9, 2020

Technically you can cheat by figuring out the answers and then start so you know all the answers when you start the quiz.

+2

Level 50

Aug 17, 2020

Cotonou instead of Porto Novo... yeah sure, I'll use external help on this one if you lay such traps
