Canada 10K+ City Name Link Challenge

Directions

The object of this quiz is to pick a 10K+ city to start, then name successive Canadian 10K+ cities such that the next city’s first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You MUST enter a ‘.’ (period) at the end of the city name to submit it.

For example, you start with ‘Toronto’ – you are now trying to name a 10K+ city starting with ‘O’ (the last letter of ‘Toronto’) which is closest to Toronto. If you answer ‘Ottawa.’ – now you are trying to name the closest city to Ottawa which starts with a ‘A’ and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.

Note: City naming is more precise than in other quizzes, some simplified alternates may not be accepted.

Enter starting city followed by a period to begin (i.e. 'Toronto.')...

To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the 2nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 2nd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest.

Whenever I choose Abbotsford, no city that starts with D works. It’s as if it does not recognize that Abbotsford ends with a D.

I seem to have identified that many municipalities and cities with a population larger than 10k are not represented in this quiz. I feel this should be rectified.

Which ones? The 10K+ D cities worked after Abbotsford. Keep in mind CA has a lot of types of municipalities and I don’t include them all as ‘cities’ in the CA cities based quizzes.

I guess that explains it. It, which dataset did you use specifically for this quiz? For instance, Windsor does not appear to work.

Windsor works fine to start the quiz, are you trying to type it after another city that ends in W though?
