Level 73

Jan 27, 2015

This is doable if you work on it. Its not really a test of your ability to name all the countries just speed at entering a variety of letters. I didn't do very well but what I did get was just entering, ae, as, at, al, au, and so on.

+11

Level 21

Feb 9, 2015

Yea, I agree. I know most of my countries, but in this quiz you can just type in two letters.

Level 15

Mar 2, 2019

Try this quiz, which is a combination of the Countries by First Two Letters and Countries by Borders quizzes!

Level 16

Feb 19, 2021

Yeah me too I know most for my countries. But like just 2 letters whyyyy? It’s so easy

+19

Level 71

Dec 23, 2016

I think just the opposite; it's not about how many you can name to me, its how fast you can think of the name. I looked at the countries and entered the first two letters, and even if i waste my time entering the first two letters of only one country, like rw (versus the first two of many countries, like you did) I would still do pretty good.

Level 16

Jul 21, 2020

I got 102, better than most though edit: 2nd try, I got 109, 3rd, 119

Level 70

Jun 5, 2021

My plan would be to work out how many begin with Q, then W, then E ... etc then just type them in order like that. I think you'd need to plan it out rather than just thinking of the countries and typing them. At least I would.

Finally featured!

Level 87

May 28, 2016

So I counted 99 different pairs of letters, give or take. I don't think that's doable in 90 seconds, unless you forget about countries and just memorize every pair.

Level 67

Why not Palestine?

Level 59

Ah, Palestine. This is an ongoing debate, the politics of which should be well known by all.

Level 75

Apr 17, 2020

Not all.

Level 71

Nov 14, 2020

Doesn't really matter since "PA" is already an answer (Pakistan, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay)

Level 83

Jun 1, 2016

You're wrong, I did it just by concentrating on the map. After a bit of training, I got it on my eleventh take.

Level 87

Nov 30, 2017

I agree. I felt the same and to prove it, created a list of all the 2-letter combos necessary to complete the quiz. Even with the list I barley could type them in all fast enough, and I'm not a terrible typist.

Level 54

Nov 30, 2018

I did the same and got it with 2 seconds to spare.

Level 52

Dec 30, 2020

I'm a terrible typist and did it without a list after 5 tries with 3 seconds remaining, I don't think a list would have helped me either. Just another thing to concentrate on.

Level 85

GE - Germany 62%, Georgia 39%???

Level ∞

May 31, 2016

Weird. Must be a ghost in the machine.

Level 74

May 31, 2016

My guess is that when the map was added somehow the stats of a few countries got mixed up?

Level 75

Apr 17, 2020

Level 75

Aug 7, 2021

Now it's Germany 66%, Georgia 65%. So who are the 1% who got Germany but missed Georgia? And what did they type?

Level 75

Jul 13, 2016

Highest score for a single country - 91% RU (just Russia); lowest score for multiple countries - 27% VA (Vanuatu and Vatican City).

Level 57

Oct 4, 2016

Not surprised that those are the most and least guessed for singles and multiples; Russia is huge so it catches you eye and you type RU but the Vatican and Vanuatu are tiny and harder to see in the panic of 90 seconds

Level 25

Aug 3, 2017

best ones to get: MA (10 countries) SA (7 countries) SO (5 countries) CO (6 countries) MO (6 countries) PA (6 countries)

Hardest are the singles like the E countries all are single there is 7 there. K countries are all single there is 6 there.

Level 72

Aug 20, 2017

The K's are actually easy, as all you have to remember is the K is followed by ALL vowels (KAzakhstan, KEnya, KIribati, KOsovo, KUwait and KYrgyzstan), the only letter where that works :)

After trying many, many times, I finally got every country with 4 seconds remaining. I usually got 190+ but was missing some countries like Luxembourg and Trinidad and Tobago (since you can barely see them on the map) and only got them after looking at the results

Level 59

Oct 3, 2017

This is pretty doable if you type in the following, without spaces or commas:

"irky figure, legacy hobo, afhgan hubris, cheap anal africa uzi, kurwa zeta lego mecha, swell uma thermometres, qatar ogre quk, syrup hunt upon okay eco peso, lisp slurs in evaded ove, czar cringe kebab hug, safe cube, vice case, niko, my suki, busrit to dj zajajouz"

A rarity, indeed.

Level 33

Nov 27, 2017

You just have to develop a system for catching the ones you always miss. I always start with KIMITREA to get Kiribati, Micronesia, Trinidad/Tobago and East Timor, then fill in the small European countries (Vatican, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Malta), Cyprus and Kuwait (the other ones I miss most often).

Best strategy for me: Western Europe starting from Portugal > Central > Northern>Balkans > Middle East > West Asia (...stan) > Central Asia > SE Easia > Oceania > Central America > South America > Rest of Africa.

It took me a gazillion tries (113 to be precise), but I finally managed to get them all!

Level 65

May 7, 2018

So, the description is actually fallacious. Unless you take the pairs of letters and combine them to make other, larger words you have to type at a speed of over 60 wpm. It is definitely faster than 23 wpm, because taken as individual pairs they must each be considered a single word. My best so far is 159 and that is after 25 tries. Stating the obvious, but this quiz is quite challenging.
