Got confused because I knew Wordle wasn’t the answer, Space Invaders didn’t seem right, but Google has Snake and Solitaire games.

On a lot of other ones I should’ve just went with my gut like the Vincent Van Gogh one and the Spain one.

Kanji is not an alphabet. The characters do not, in fact, even have a consistent pronunciation; on the contrary many, such as 木, meaning "tree," have both a pronunciation based on the Chinese original ("moku") and one that echoes the Japanese word for that thing or concept before the introduction of kanji ("ki"). Some, such as 生, meaning "raw," have more than two pronunciations.

And you would not create a word by simply stringing characters together for their sound, the way we make "dog" out of "d," "o," and "g," because while these characters have sounds, they are not as elemental as our alphabet is.

And did I mention that different kanji meaning different things may sound the same and can be distinguished only by their written form or the context in which they are spoken? Chinese speakers have a good deal of fun making elaborate puns or insults that depend on this characteristic.

Better to just say that Japanese has three different writing systems. Four if you count Romaji.

If #4 had had options like Australia, Tonga or Fiji along with NZ, I'm sure the answer would have been much less straightforward.

Took very long on #8, but since I've been to Turkey only a few months ago and learned some of their history, the name sounded familiar, so I had to get it right eventually.

stupid mistake of 6 and wrong guess on 8.

The spain question took me way too long though.. We, in the Netherlands were always taught New Zealand was the country opposite us, our antipodes. So I was trying to work out in 3d: if the Netherlands is Nz, then what would Spain be..

But of course the antipode of many countries just end up being a place in the water. Nz was just the closest country.

Sorry for my horrible english today, one of those days brain

's not working properly, plus headache plus noisy here. So no mental energy to edit into correct English..
