Bizarre auto type-in

Submitted by FreeStater on November 27, 2025
Does anyone know why Qaanaaq, Greenland has auto type-ins? I can't imagine it appears very often on featured quizzes, or any quizzes for that matter.

I believe the website automatically replaces AA with A+

I find UI to be a lot weirder tbh, it accepts I?UI?, which means Guzhou, Giuzhou, Giuizhou are all accepted type-ins for Guizhou where the creator did not update them manually

Well Guizhou is a province, but it applies to its capital Guiyang and Huizhou in Guangdong too

Fun fact, Guizhou is the only province of China that ends in "zhou". Most place names with that ending are either cities (prefecture-level or county-level) or districts within a city.

Most words have auto-typins. What's usually use in quizzes with typins have a green tick on the side, meaning JetPunk-approved typins. Some of them have none, but still the green tick for some reason.

Qaanaaq has the green tick so somebody approved having the UI in its regex.
