I'd like another few minutes. This is the kind of quiz I do for enjoyment while watching a movie or something. It's kind of annoying to tab between all the scrambled words, and trying to deal with this as text on a screen, rather than with a pencil in my hand.

It's not the kind of quiz I want to compete to ace in X:XX. It's the kind of quiz I want to go through all 193 and work out the hard ones as a brain teaser.

Were fun to work out. So far I haven't really found a strategy for working out the less-obvious ones. Seems like country names have a lot of variation. I think a continent hint, or starting-letter hint, would make it too easy.

This definitely needs more time.

I’m pretty decent at unscrambling, and I get close every time. But it is difficult.

So consider upping the time limit.. Other than that, it’s a great quiz.
