Can you guess these geographical answers that contain each amount of letters, ranging from 4 to 12? In each group, you are not shown the number of letters until you answer the question.
Nice! It would take time but if you put the hidden numbers in order (going down from 4 to 12) it'll be easier to see which ones are still missing as you go along
The (hidden) number of letters in the answer does have a use, albeit a very minor one.
In each category, there's one answer of each length from 4 through 12. So if you're—for example—stuck on one (or two), but you have all the others, you can use process of elimination to deduce what answer lengths you have remaining, and that might be able to help your guessing.
Probably only likely to help at the margins, but not totally useless.
I liked the quiz overall, but a minor quibble about the "UK flag" question: per my understanding (and so far as I can tell this is backed up by Wikipedia), the Union Jack doesn't appear on the UK flag; rather it is the UK flag.
(That is, it's an alternative name for it.)
It did prevent me from getting that answer as I rejected it on that basis (admittedly I could have tried it anyway). Instead I thought you were getting at the fact that it's the combination of St. George's Cross (English flag), St. Andrew's Saltire (Scottish flag) and St. Patrick's Saltire (kinda sorta the Northern Ireland flag), and spent my time trying different variants of those terms - as those are designs that do properly appear "on" the UK flag.
Would be appreciated if you could consider tweaking the wording a bit!
