If you enjoyed this quiz, I also have a featured quiz for this same concept but using country names!

As an aside, apostrophes do not count as letters, but the 3 capitals that use apostrophes and no spaces are still considered as "one word" and included in this quiz.

Thanks to @Syrext for the comment about creating a similar quiz with capital names--I noticed you never ended up making it, so I thought I'd do it myself! :)

Better than having to debate if a space is a letter, though!

I would say that there should be an inarguable distinction between letters and characters. Letters are characters, but characters are not letters.

I concur, but I will give you the insight that when I first designed a quiz like this for country names a couple years ago, it actually was based on characters and not letters. My thought process was that spaces added to visual length.

The change to letters and one-word only was actually Quizmaster's input, and it was much better received after the change. But I do appreciate the feedback! :)

This is a good idea, but I'm not sure that it needs a yellow box.
