I'd like another few minutes. This is the kind of quiz I do for enjoyment while watching a movie or something. It's kind of annoying to tab between all the scrambled words, and trying to deal with this as text on a screen, rather than with a pencil in my hand.

It's not the kind of quiz I want to compete to ace in X:XX. It's the kind of quiz I want to go through all 193 and work out the hard ones as a brain teaser.

Were fun to work out. So far I haven't really found a strategy for working out the less-obvious ones. Seems like country names have a lot of variation. I think a continent hint, or starting-letter hint, would make it too easy.

Love this quiz but wish it was in a different font. My eyes are not great and I have trouble differentiating between I and i 's and also when r and n are next to each other it appears to be an m to me.
