Les Abymes, Guadeloupe.

It does not accept Pointe-à-Pitre-Les Abymes, regardless of punctuation or accents.

Late response, but that’s an empty square. You’ll know when you hover over and your cursor stops being a hand

I don’t think it’s possible on mobile unless you have an external mouse connected, the site seems to be designed with desktop in mind. It would be kind of nice to have all green lines that don’t border a valid square have a red outer line attached to the green line, but that might not be possible with Google’s API, I’m not sure.

As far as it being laggy, I don’t have that issue, I suppose it might depend on your hardware. Do you have that issue on other similar quizzes with this type of map or just this one?
