Just a couple things I noticed: Kathmandu should be included on the square that covers North India, and the Square over Sri Lanka includes a bunch of cities carried over from the square to the right of it, that shouldn't be included (like Singapore).

Great quiz and I'm sure it took a lot of effort on your part :)

Nowhere near enough time, unless you consider this an extreme speed typing quiz. Could only do about 2/3 of this without taking time to stop and think.

I've spotted an error: the square containing Colombo also contains several other Cities that are not there in reality - such as Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Glasgow isn’t at a million but Edinburgh is? I think that’s a mistake

Glasgow is visible in its square but it's not being accepted when typed. Needs a fix.

As people have been saying:

-Need to add Glasgow and Kathmandu

-Colombo square has a bunch of extra cities that shouldn't be there

Great quiz.

Just a comment: in the Texas square, none of the 5 Mexican cities it includes is accepted.

Looks like the Sri Lanka square still accepts all the cities from the square just east of it as correct answers.

One of the squares is bugged.

The square including sri lanka and the southern tip of india not only accepts cities in that square, but all cities in the tile next to that one, including malaysia and singapore. you can see this when you start this quiz and your first answer is singapore but 2 tiles lit up.

Really like this idea though, fun to see the outliers like Arequipa.

The square that has the Texas cities seems to be missing the list of all the Mexican cities that are also in that square

Pretty neat. I usually rate myself using my "biggest get" (the most rarely-named answer I got) and by "biggest miss" (the most commonly-named answer I didn't get); by biggest get was Durban and my biggest miss was Belem/São Luis.

The Sri Lanka square for some reason contains Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Medan and a few more cities and Northeastern Mexican cities (Like Monterrey and Saltillo) just don't work.
