Dang, I put in Aragorn stupidly and then tried Nivetz, Nimetz and all other spellings I could think of. Fun stuff, though.

ugh when Tsedong and Tzedong didn't get accepted I figured It must be something else..

Don't think I ever heard of Nimitz or Cunard.

And I always struggle with the spelling of Navajo, thought I got it right this time ( typed it like 5 times, but still must have not done it right)

Got the 2nd least guessed though, by thinking what name I most often see on (bicycle) tires haha though did have a vague memory of seeing it on a tennisball.

*the average Dutch person sees more bicycles than tennisballs per day, might be different else where ;)

If you want to save some time, there's a 5-letter acceptable answer for the sound barrier question :)

Robert William Thomson invented the first pneumatic (air-filled) tire in 1845, but it was too costly for widespread use. John Boyd Dunlop invented the first practical pneumatic tire in 1888 for bicycles, making the technology commercially successful and leading to the modern pneumatic tire.

Too many ways to spell Mao's name. Bad question.

But "zedong" is pinyin, which has been the PRC's official and principal romanization system since the early 1980s. 45 years should be long enough for a standard to be accepted.

However most other spellings are not 6 letters long.

I think "Father of Alexander the Great" could be "pop," it even fits the clues...

I don't think about the Louvre answer is really correct.

In France we generally think of "Les Tuileries" as the king's residence before Versailles, although, yes, Louis XIV did reside in the Louvre before building Versailles. But that's Louis XIV, not the French king in general.

I just checked Wikipedia, and for most of its host the Louvre appears to have had had more "representative" functions related to the monarchy. It was a military facility, a prison, an archive, and many other things over the centuries.

Since "les Tuileries" is obviously not six letters long, I think the clue should be modified to "Louis XIV".

Tried many 6 letter spelling for mao but not the right one. Also was so sure it was Dunlap that I didn’t try any other spellings

Confused St. Francis with Pope Francis and was wondering what town in Argentina starts with "A" and ends in "i".
