Well, Düsseldorf is even not the largest German city at the Rhine and with an umlaut...as you know.

That's true, but it is the largest (and the only one that I know of) that begins with a D. Plus the question didn't ask for the largest. It just asked for a city

I didn't find Dachshund at first, so I tried Köln and got another question. I only thought of Düsseldorf when I found Frankfurt and thus the final f.

Strangely, the Germans don't use the word Dachshund, which litrally means "Badger Dog". They use "Dackel". I lived in Germany for 13 years and never met anyone who knew wahat a "Dachshund" was, although it wasn't a main topic of conversation.

The word Dackel is derived from Dachshund though.

I find it kinda funny that the fourth question in a Germany quiz is about popular turkish food. Living in Germany, I know why it's here, but it's still funny.

I like most of those chain games, but this one is not really inspired. The first five questions are : four other countries and one turkish food... seriously...

Yeah.... The turkish Food is on here because it's like our national fast food... We eat it very often and ''Döner-Buden'' (places where you can buy them)can be found in every City, no matter how tiny it is. I live in a small town with only 3000 People living here. we still have three Dönerbuden. THAT is how big the Döner has become. In fact Döner isn't even really turkish

I think it would be better as "What sauerkraut is made of" (rather than "with"). Sauerkraut is pretty much cabbage made sour, after all.

Enough that you can still easily get it as part of the word chain, but also easy enough to get by guessing if you are missing either side.

Not vague at all once you know that it starts with B and ends with M.

I'd like to know how they got that umlaut on the Rhine. Think they used a giant crane? Better: "City on the Rhine River with an umlaut."

Yea, I thought, maybe there was a place that called it Rhône

Edt:not an umlaut I know, the point is the syntax of the sentence made me read it differently than meant aswell

unterbahn is definitely wrong. The U stands for 'Untergrund' meaning 'underground'. 'unter' would just mean 'under' and make no sense at all

Sdednobmffktcxddengyulstk is all the letters chained together. Should've had one of those cool 25-letter German nouns. Sdednobmffktcxddengyulstk seems more Czech.

I would say that the Netherlands are to the West, not Northwest of Germany, since both Kiel and Hamburg are farther North than Groningen which, on a map at least, is the Northern-most point of the Netherlands.
