This applies to most country quizzes, but shouldn't RSA count for South Africa if KSA counts for Saudi Arabia and other ones like PRC, ROC?

Level 72

Mar 4, 2024

The initialism RSA doesn't appear to be that popular, surprisingly. I tried googling "RSA" and South Africa wasn't even on the first page.

Alright, I went through the list of accepted typeins and tried to get the bare minimum of characters to see if this quiz is theoretically possible. Nobody actually cares about the process but you'd need about 266.6 WPM minimum. Apparently the world record is around the 270-277 mark, so I guess it's technically doable?

Level 28

Mar 11, 2024

aw man i got 48 countries over 196 but i can do 196 countries.

am I the only one who has a problem with this quiz being humanly impossible? I honestly wouldn't mind if it wasn't featured, since its impossible to do

Level 76

Jun 9, 2024

It's not supposed to be possible - it's just a test to see how many you can get in a minute! To get the maximum 5 points you need to get 48 countries.

Level 43

Jul 5, 2024

I need to type two countries between every country I originally type to reach minimum requirement LOL

Level 20

Aug 2, 2024

Hi everyone im a fetus in my mommy's belly. I'm controlling mom's fingers to type this. I got ez 89 points as negative 7 months old! Anyone who has worse score than me should be ASHAMED and be well aware that you SUCCCK! See yall in 7 months when my age turns to a positive number. SUCKERS!

Level 42

Oct 31, 2024

imagine only having 89 at negative seven months 🤣🤣🤣

Hi everyone I will be born in 2 years. I got all 196 in 0 seconds

Level 37

Apr 23, 2026

well dang, I'll be born in 5 years and I got 196 countries in 0.1 second

Level 34

Oct 31, 2024

My high score in this quiz is 91 country. You can get high results if you practice enough and have good geographical knowledge AND high typing speed (mine averages around 130-140 WPM)

Level 90

USA dr Congo car uk fyrom ksa uae PRC roc dprk rok NZ png fsm cuba Peru Mali Togo chad Oman Iraq Iran Laos Fiji Haiti Chile Libya Egypt Sudan Kenya Gabon Benin Ghana Niger Spain Malta Italy Syria Qatar Yemen Nepal India Japan Nauru Palau Samoa Tonga

This are the shortest type-ins for countries (acronyms + real names), including all 5 letters or less type-ins, 49 countries in all, enough for 5 points. Enjoy!

no you didn't

Level 61

Dec 9, 2024

Anybody else wonder why countries like Gabon and Bosnia are typed so little? It seems that people study this quiz and which countries to type, wouldn't these countries be included?

Level 58

Jan 22, 2025

I got 196/196 with 00:59 left, while blindfolded, on mobile, with one finger.

Level 86

Feb 3, 2025

It's much easier when you can use a finger.

Level 75

Feb 5, 2025

Thanks for the tip! Trying to do this with my eyebrow wasn't helping at all.

12/196 how someone did 70

Level 50

Mar 18, 2025

i got 53

Level 56

Mar 19, 2025

I scored 62 on my first attempt. I wasted nearly 10 seconds on Portugal, I kept misspelling it. Cool quiz.

Level 55

Mar 21, 2025

42, i think i did pretty well.

fumbled a few times and types some longer ones.

with strategy i think i could get 50

Level 64

Apr 8, 2025

86? might be good i think 90 is doable or 100 if i really try

Level 29

Apr 9, 2025

72, I need to type faster brutha

Level 37

May 9, 2025

what is the wr?

Level 53

May 16, 2025

87, 77, 71, 68, and 66 appear to be the top 5 scores, according to the quiz stats.

Level 54

Jul 8, 2025

the only way i can think that getting 100% might be possible is if you had a stenotype/stenography machine and excellent recall

Level 66

Jul 14, 2025

62 on my first attempt in a while. I can definitely do better but I should really not go for countries like Guinea Bissau lol

Level 33

Jul 14, 2025

I got 44 countries

Level 55

Jul 24, 2025

54 but can be improve

Level 40

Oct 3, 2025

First try 58/196

Second try 61/196 (beats 99.3% :))

Level 38

Oct 6, 2025

This is unpossible to get anything over 40 in a minute

Level 75

Oct 8, 2025

The statistics say otherwise.

Level 47

Oct 25, 2025

is this humanly possible

Level 34

Nov 8, 2025

I got 54 :)))

Level 46

Nov 14, 2025

40 ON PHONE

Level 43

Dec 6, 2025

This isn't really humanly possible. The Jetpunk list of world countries has 1693 (let's round that down to 1600 for the shortenings), and since a word is widely standardized in the typing world as 5 characters, that would be 320 words.

The world record for 15 seconds of time sprint is 314 words per minute, and the 60 second record is 280 words per minute.

Level 54

Dec 11, 2025

for me the strat is just typing all the European countries, which I have practiced typing quickly so I can get it under 50 seconds, and then just typing short countries like prc, roc, rok, dprk, car, usa, dr, etc. Or just typing whatever is geographically close to Europe. managed to get to 60 with this

Level 47

Dec 31, 2025

Am I cheating? Because I have shortcuts on my iPad, which replaces "skn" with "Saint Kitts and Nevis", "aab" with "Antigua and Barbuda" etc. I have been using those shortcuts since last year for convenience

Level 90

Jan 3, 2026

I got 28 could of gotten 3 or 4 more but stumbled. Darn it could of gotten another point.

Level 43

Jan 23, 2026

barely hit 64, there's no way I can get any higher

Level 42

Apr 14, 2026

When you look up and see dnamrak…

Level 31

Apr 30, 2026

I could manage 57 and I I m here reading comments that people did 196 with half minute to spare? I mean, is that humanely possible or people lying here? Cos if its possible, I want to know how much training one has to do

Level 47

Apr 30, 2026

they are lying, if true that would mean at least 450 wpm and the world record for typing for a minute is 280wpm
