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.

I like playing these in full-screen mode but the +1:00 bar blocks part of the word entry bar so I can’t see what I’m typing
Yay! 8 minutes and 45 seconds! 🙂
San Juan for PR???
This is only countries of the world, not dependent territories.
Why do you only have to type “Sri J” for Sri Lanka? Not fair to those who can actually spell it…
I must admit that, even as a perennial quiz taker on Sporcle, I have never heard of Palau’s capital (just googled it). I suppose most quizzes just accept Melekeok?
Anyway, it didn’t show up in the “25 Missed”, instead it showed me “Djibouti” for whatever reason.
If you look at a map or do a Google Image search for the said capital you’ll notice that it’s not a proper city/town/whatever it’s basically just the ridiculously large and out of place capitol building of Palau. For a country with 17k inhabitants…
I’m amazed I got 196, well, 195 before I googled for Roseau. All this after I hadn’t looked at any capitals games in a while (like on Sporcle). I even remembered Palau’s ‘new’ capital.
