Level 24
May 31, 2021
i feel like accepting shortened versions, while it can be helpful, shouldn't be done. I understand it's making spelling easier, and I agree that acronyms like DRC or CAR are good, but if it's just a shortened part of the word you could keep typing without noticing. This happened to me as I was typing Ouagadougou and it just accepted 'Ouaga.' Kinda ruins the flow.
+8
Level 70
Jun 29, 2021
Typical frustrations for me (typing capitals):

ouaga => Ouagadougou

tallin => Talinn

vientian => Vientiane

bandar => Bandar Seri Begawan

sri jayawardenepura => Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte

sana => Sana'a

kingston => Kingstown

Some of these are annoying because the answer is accepted but there's still more to type, which leaves the correct letters in the next answer. A couple of the shortenings I don't like because I'm drilling myself to keep my knowledge current and I actually want to know the full name of the capitals of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Sri Lanka and Brunei.

But not everyone uses the quiz this way, and lots of people are frustrated with knowing roughly "Ouagadougou" but not how to spell it.

What I'd love is a feature where I can choose (for a given quiz, a given take, or maybe for my user) whether to accept loose spellings and (especially) shortenings or whether to keep it strict. The accepting of close misspellings doesn't bother me, but the truncation does.

Why isn't Colombo accepted for Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte?
+1
Level 38
Aug 24, 2021
Howcome Colombo isn't accepted along with Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte when Bloemfontein, Cape Town & Pretoria all are? It's the same situation in Sri Lanka as it is in South Africa:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_multiple_capitals

+2
Level 58
Nov 16, 2021
Sri Lanka is not even mentioned in your link.

Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is its legislative capital, and Colombo is its largest city and financial centre.That's Sri Lankas constitution, even though Kotte is in Colombos urban area, those are two different cities still. Their constitution defines Kotte as the capital.

South Africa have officialy divided their 3 branches of power in three different cities that aren't even near onw another. Two totally different situations.

+1
Level 86
Jan 18, 2022
This has been in the works for several years. And although Nusantara hasn't been built yet, and will be built in phases, it seems to be implied that once the legislature made this ruling this week, it became the de jure capital of the country, even though nothing official happens there yet. (A bit like the Bujumbura / Gitega thing in Burundi, although the (small) Gitega did already exist.)

Yes exactly. They accept Mexico, Panama, etc all without "city", so should be the same for Andorra even if "town" is not in English there
+1
Level 44
Jul 21, 2022
Techically that would be cheating due to mexico and guatemala having city after there country as their capital.But andorra having la vella after their country’s name.

186/196. Getting better
+6
Level 77
Feb 15, 2022
I got all 196 today.

What is a pain in the ass when you are typing without looking is when you type the correct spelling for:

Vientiane

Tallinn

...for example, and the final letter (for whatever reason) is not required and ruins your next answer because there's a dangling final letter at the start of your lovely new capital.

I suppose for those guys who have completed it multiple times and are going for time improvements, this fact can be borne in mind (Jackinthebox above, for example) but for me, it is painful.

Also I don't recall typing the name of the capital of St Vincent because the capital of Jamaica is acceptable because it's close enough. BUT NO ! It isn't.

(Sorry - I see my frustration is aired by partdavid above)

+4
Level 75
Feb 25, 2022
I agree with you. I would rather force people to learn correct spellings that have to miss out the last letter

OK, just wanted to let the creator of this quiz know, that it's a great quiz, it needs no change, and I've taken this quiz about a million times and I've loved it every time. Great Job! I now know the capital, location, and name of every country in the world because of you!

Would it be at all possible to either change the posted answer for Ukraine to Kyiv? I know it's a small thing, but like, anything to decentralize Russia as the source of transliteration/translation of other countries and such. Just a thought! Otherwise, love this quiz!
+3
Level 66
Mar 9, 2022
Yes I finally got all of them! I'm so proud, when I started out a few years ago (before I made my account) I probably only knew around 30.

Finished with 7 minutes left on my most recent go!

Even though so many capitals have difficult spelling, for some reason the last one I was able to remember was "Maseru" hahaha

+1
Level 32
Mar 21, 2022
Maseru was the last one for me too! Probably because with Maputo & Malabo in Africa it gets a bit confusing
+3
Level 53
Mar 27, 2022
I think that because most sources (Wikipedia, BBC, Britannica etc) have switched to Kyiv, and given the situation right now that you should change from Kiev to Kyiv.

I agree Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel, and this is generally international consensus, Quizmaster has his own set of (somewhat controversial) beliefs. Hard to argue Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine however - most people would probably agree on Ramallah.
+1
Level 58
Oct 23, 2023
It annoys me that the Quizmaster pushes his own political opinions in the quiz rather than adhering to international consensus, which, given that only the US and Israel consider Jerusalem the Israeli capital, is very much that Tel Aviv holds that status.

It took me many tries to get all the capital cities down and I still spend 10 mins a day practicing. There are so many difficult spellings to remember and I've had to get creative with some. For example Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte = Sir Jay, a warden at Epura Kotte prison. Silly, but it worked for me. Now that I know all the cities, I practice them in various orders, including alphabetical A-Z and Z-A. I found if I just did the quiz top to bottom, I was memorizing what words were next on the list rather than learning which countries the cities belonged to. I did the same with the 196 countries of the world and the 118 elements of the periodic table. Fun and good for the brain!

I had mastered them all except africa and been able to do them just fine, including the map version tests for each area. I came here after doing Africa right for first time and wanted to see which ones I haven't mastered.

Albania and Parguay in west. Palikir and Majuro in Oceania. And randomly Bishkek and Beirut for Middle East/Stan. They're all the random ones I've had issues with before.

6 in Asia, Kualu, Dhaka, Phonom, Dili, Vientiane and Thimphu. There same old ones I've had issues remembering on site.

12 in Africa isn't too bad, cause only done Africa once, and haven't even done the map version yet.

Studied Africa more and def mastered everything but Asia and Africa, so only missed 4.

Shockingly I got everything in Africa except Juba.

Did it. I finally did it.

I skipped all the ones I dont know and checked in at end, and its the same old culprits, some reason Bhutan and Thimphu are just impossible for me to memorize.

Its why mistakes are awesome, cause when you make same mistakes over and over, you remember last time messed up and randomly remember things you messed up. I remember Thimphu in end cause remembered its the word I always forget.

Level 94
Jan 26, 2023
Jerusalem is the official capital that Israel claims but it is not universally recognized by other countries (the US recognized it just a few years ago during the Trump administration). The de facto capital is Tel Aviv. For the most part quizzes on this site use the official capital that is claimed by the country (the only exception I know of is Benin which accepts both Porto-Novo and Cotonou). I personally think the de facto capitals should be accepted as type ins at the very least, but its obviously not my call to make.

could you please accept Delap-Uliga-Djarrit as the capital of the Marshall Islands as no matter where you ask, you will always find people saying that Delap-Uliga-Djarrit is the capital and other people saying that Majuro is the capital; even wikipedia contradicts itself: Majuro's page says that Majuro is the capital and Delap-Uliga-Djarrit's page says that Delap-Uliga-Djarrit is the capital.

This isn't meant to be a criticism (especially not of this quiz), but sometimes I'm baffled by the "alternate spelling" of words that are accepted, and the ones that are not. In general, I'm the type of person that would say, "just learn how to spell the word right". However, when some fairly simple words are accepted when misspelled, but it takes me ten attempts to get "Ljubljana" correct because there is no room for even the slightest error in spelling on one of the more difficult words (waiting for someone to tell me how crazy easy it is to spell) I just find it a little bit odd.

I feel like some more continuity here is needed. If Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte accepts "Sri Jayawardenapura", then Bandar Seri Begawan should accept "Bandar Seri", not just "Bandar". I also, and this might sound a little strange, think that considering how many "Saint" and "Port" cities there are, that if "Saint" can be abbreviated to "St.", then "Port" should maybe be abbreviated to "P" or "Pt."

Also, I feel like the Nauru/Yaren row should just be grayed out and filled in. In keeping with this same principle of continuity, if Nauru/Yaren were changed to this, maybe Switzerland/Bern should be too?
