Really nice, this one is a lot harder than the vocals only quiz. I think the time is quite perfect, you need to be in a hurry. I got 190 on the first try.
This is a lot of fun. The "Y" as a vowel part is an issue for me, though. Really slows me down to put in GPT for Egypt, when there is zero possibility that the Y isn't a vowel in that case. Still, fun stuff.
Just like others have mentioned, the Y is considered a vowel in many cases, yet we always have to write it. Ex: the answer for Germany should be 'grmn' not 'grmny'
2. UAE should either be prefilled or it should be made clear that in case an abbreviation contains only vowels, the full name needs to be written.
I'm also wondering about the time. Typing full names takes me less time than omitting the vowels. So, it should have the same time limit as the "regular" quiz (15 minutes).
Finished with three seconds to spare. I saved UAE for last, since it was lot of typing to have to spell out the whole name when the entire abbreviation was disqualified.
I was expecting this one to be as much fun as the vowel one. But it really wasn't. This one only has 2/3 of the time. And all the Y's are considered as vowels, so weirdly where the other quiz need the Y this quiz needed it too! Not only do I think this is a bad decision in itself, but it seriously messed with my thinking. (So if anything this one should have more time and not less, compared to the other one. Because you have to type in a lot of counterintuitive things)
In most of these names, the Y is a vowel. Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Vatican City, Cyprus, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Seychelles, Guyana, Paraguay, Uruguay. It is more questionable in Myanmar, Kenya, and Libya depending how you pronounce them. We should at least have the option to omit the Y. Yemen is the only country where the Y is undisputably a consonant.
Also technically UAE should be filled in automatically if you're counting every type-in.
(I agree, it was a good quiz)
And the time limit is far too short as it's often longer to write country names here, than in the classic all countries of the world quiz.

2. I mean.. not really. Once it isn't prefilled, I think it's pretty darn clear that typing ___ isn't going to work.
(3.) No one taking this quiz can't already do the "regular" quiz, so I don't agree with the comparison.
I personally found the time reasonable, but I don't believe I'm necessarily representative.

Why?
Exactly.
For example, requiring "ymn" for Yemen makes sense and "grmn" for Germany where Y is strictly a vowel in this second example.
Also, "krgstn" should be accept for k[youknowwhatcountry]gistan to follow the type-in logic.
