Castries is only 8 letters long. Green box. So St. Lucia doesn't work

I’m fairly sure “Washington, DC” has at least nine letters! Even if it were just “Washington”, that’s still 10!

I tried Cuba for the first yellow box but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure Havana and Cuba don't start with the same letters, and I think Washington DC is longer than nine letters.

Jamaica is 7 letters, not more than 7. The quizzes are more difficult if you give wrong clues.

There is too much ambiguity around the term 'American' countries. I have never heard of Jamaica and T&T as 'American' countries. They are Caribbean and, at a push, in the Americas, but that is a different thing. Latin America is also considered South America in the conventional sense, so Dominican Republic is a head-scratcher (yes they speak a Latin language but the terminology around this quiz needs to be tightened).

One of the questions is "more than 7 letters" Jamaica is EXACTLY seven letters, not more than seven, yet it still counts?
