This is an amazing quiz. Nominated and 5 stars. Seriously, this format is fantastic in the click format. I would take any quizzes you made in this format! Some of the cities were a bit hard, but I used 7:24 to figure them all out from the process of elimination. Counting the number of letters needed, automatic recognition, and seeing if the last letter was a blank or not really made this into a fun puzzle. If you make this into a series, count me a fan!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I can definitely make this into a series, too. Given what some others have said I might make it a bit harder and take off a minute or two but I hope that is still feasible!

That's a great quiz idea, yet there are a few things that could be done to improve it. Firstly, there should be a way to see the name of the city when the quiz is completed, this way I had to combine questions and answers to see the name. Yet, I had it all correct, due to the tactics - namely, there is only one answer with three empty spots, so there is no problem with that one, despite the fact I've never heard of it. There are similar cases all over the quiz. It would be much more challenging if all the cities had the same number of characters. Also, the fact there are city names comprised of two words is a bit problematic. All in all, a good quiz, yet it could be improved.

Thank you for the feedback! I'll take all this into consideration when I make another one. I guess I was using this one as a benchmark but considering it's fairly easy if you use process of elimination, I might make the next one a bit harder and give less time. Also, there is a way to show the answer, so I will also do that next time around.

Actually, looking at the quiz editor, I think I did put the completed city names in the post-quiz answers below. I will take the quiz real quick to make sure it still works, sorry if something happened!

Great quiz, although I never heard of Aberystwyth.

Time is very generous. To make it a challenge, it should be 1-2 minutes less or at least 3 cities more.

Aberystwyth is on the west coast of Wales! I was using this first one to see how people fared; seeing how everyone did I can definitely knock a few minutes off and add a couple more names. Thanks for the feedback!

Excellent quiz, finally one with some hard cities to find, like Aberystwyth or Fairbanks. It clearly should be FP instead of just spotlights. If another one comes out, I'll surely take it.

Spoiler alert, but you missed an R in Barranquilla.

That would seem to be the case, good idea! Will definitely check spelling in the near future as one letter missing will create a whole different clue!

Great quiz! I think there's a missing underscore in "Trondheim"
