I love this so much! After a while I get the hang of it (high score of 1 second after I got the same question number twice in a row. Should you remove it? Or is figuring it out the point?)

Also, could you make it impossible to get a whammie for guessing something already guessed? It makes it a bit annoying when I figure out the whole answer, and get so exited I die from re-typing the letters guessed

Hmmm, I don’t think it would be possible to not get whammied after a second guess.

And maybe I’ll get rid of the superscripts. As you point out, it could make things too easy…

Cool! I think it would be a better design if the letters were horizontally.

I agree, but unfortunately the random mode doesn’t allow for much of a customized grid

Nice, but needs at least six wrong choices. Only six letters long, requires way too much luck. Odds are that you might even get one of the five vowels.

Well, the whammies only go up to 5. Also, there are only so many 6 letter European capitals. So if you want to be very technical, you could narrow it down with letters E, N, A. Those actually might be enough (in that order) to guarantee you don’t lose.

Once you get one letter it becomes pretty easy, you just have to run down a bunch of capitals in your head and match the one letter you got right to it

Yeah, I think that this should put the quiz in "third place" for most takes on a single quiz in a day. I was pretty shocked it got that many.

I think you've gotta try "E", "N", "A" to assure you're fine. Hopefully you have better luck if you try again!
