Here's the other one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Fahd_International_Airport
"The official website of the airport reports a utilized area of 3,675 hectares (9,080 acres), or 36.75 square kilometres, making the airport the sixth-largest in the world."
That said, I guess it's debatable. I'll leave it as America.
The follow all use 776

Even the Denver website itself says it's the second largest in the world

I think the confusion is that the area that is bought/used for Fahd is not all 'airport' so there are two different statistics for it.
Wikipedia gets its info from this site, but it's not the official site
https://the-saudi.net/kfia/kfia.htm (and is the only one I could find that states that number?)
The official one is here https://kingfahdairport.com/ and doesn't state the area.
King Fahd International has been cited as the largest airport in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records. At 776 square kilometres (300 mi2), the property is larger than the neighbouring country of Bahrain. The official website of the airport reports a utilized area of 3,675 hectares (9,080 acres), or 36.75 square kilometres, making the airport the sixth-largest in the world.
The website also cites the "Total Airport Area" as being 776 square km, despite then saying the Airport only uses 36.75 square km. So there is a weird discrepancy anyway
But I found it
(I'm German)
Anyway, my reading has recovered a bit, but calculating or thinking steps ahead (with chess or rummikub or something) is still appalling.
Not that anyone would care on an anonymous quiz site, I am just typing what I am thinking. (like most people. who cares about scores or which question they missed but many of us feel the need to share)
