Click START to begin - then fill in the 100 squares with World countries (see NAMING NOTE below) based on the categories in the rows and cells. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Asia' in its row, and 'Starts With A' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Armenia.' Many shortened names of countries are accepted, such as DRC, CAR, UAE, UK, US, etc. Answering a country which doesn't fit in any remaining unanswered cell will end the quiz.
Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme. After completing the quiz you can simply click RESTART to play again.
Please note that 'star on flag' does not include a representation of the Sun.
Scoring is based on 100 points for each correct (or blank) square, and 5 points are subtracted for every second used on the quiz. So you are rewarded for getting squares quickly, however be careful as not to name a country which doesn't qualify for an open cell.
NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after a country name or abbreviation to submit it, to prevent entering a country you don't want to (i.e. Guinea when you want to enter Guinea Bissau). For country naming purposes, the following names are used: Cote d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste.

How does one determine the names of the cities that you’ve failed to list? There must be some way to improve one’s score.
The ’50 Missed’ in the list box you can click on after the quiz is over to see some you missed.
Sanaa? Kabul? Are they trying to get us killed?
How did Milan not make the list?
i still cant figure out number 4 XD
There’s a country that heavily overperforms in my opinion, and hats off to Lonely Planet for having not one, not two, but at least FOUR cities from Australia in the Top 200… and TWO IN THE TOP 20!
There is one city in Peru on this list that could be spelled with an “s” or a “z” — would you consider adding an alternate spelling?

The fact that a city in North Korea and a city in Afghanistan are on this list makes me laugh. The first thing that pops up when I search “visit Kabul” on Google is the State Department’s warning telling me not to visit Afghanistan.
And Milan, Oslo, Palma de Mallorca, etc are missing. Why couldn’t they replace Kabul, Pyongyang, Sanaa, etc with cities that are actually safe and fun to visit.
