I don’t think every single one was used in the source I used.

Rather than the Times which seems to exclude some I personally think the list according to Universities UK, the body that represents all universities would be a better source: https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/about-us/our-members For example in the town I went to uni in there are two unis and both valid in their own right but only mine is listed here.

Ah, however I want the quiz to be a rankings quiz so if the Times updates to include those couple missed schools I’ll add them.
