Super nice quiz ! I'm going to spend some time on it..

just 2 remarks :

- why aren't the letters in alphabetical order? it's a bit disturbing.

- I don't know exactly which criteria you used for population, but you may have forgotten Vienna (Austria), which has a urban population of more than 2 millions (Wikipedia) and El Alto (Bolivia), with a urban population of more than 2 millions.

cheers

They are in alphabetical order, but from top to bottom because that is how Jetpunk defaults it I think

They used to be in alphabetical order from left to right but then I changed it to top to bottom so that they would be in alphabetical order on mobile.
