New Series: Countries by Letter Scores

Submitted by PuzzledSem on October 11, 2025
Hi everyone!

Recently I played around with some code that converted letters to a score corresponding to its position in the alphabet (so, a = 1, b = 2, ... z = 26), which allowed me to calculate a 'letter score' for any given word.

As a geography quiz nerd I am, the next step (obviously) was to calculate the score for every country, and I found that to be a great base for some tricky quizzes!

If you're interested, check out the quiz series here!

Also, let me know if you have ideas for any other quizzes using these letter scores! I thought about doing a 'Countries of the world in order of their letter score' as well, but that might be reeeeally hard.

Cheers!

I sadly have to inform you that I already created the two quizzes with the average score. Here and here.

Seeing that Trompete has beat you to it on these quizzes, why not make one with capital cities?
