I though Bangalore was spelled Bengaluru so what you have seems pretty close.

But I had NO idea about siny until I said it with an Australian accent. So funny.

Fun quiz

Sure, some are closer than others. Ibidan is the closest. Bengiloru is a bad spelling of both Bangalore and Bengaluru. The type-in allows for both of course so I have purposefully chosen something in between :)

Accept Bengaluru for Bangalore because that's the original spelling. Westerns had trouble pronouncing Bengaluru so they called it Bangalore.

Apr 11, 2021
The point of the quiz is to give the exact spelling of the answer revealed by JetPunk when these are entered, as per the instructions. Bengaluru is not revealed when someone types bengiloru, so it isn't the answer. On a general quiz I would of course allow Bengaluru.

It should accept Bengaluru, many people say Bengaluru, not Bangalore, so I wondered why Bengaluru wasn't working when I kept trying that. Only after the quiz ended I saw that Bangalore was an answer.

I'm surprised 'sopolo' isn't a type-in for 'Sapporo'! I was trying to make Abidjan go for 'ibadan' - doesn't seem worse than some existing options and the actual answer isn't far off the misspelling.

For Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, and Tajikistan, you can first write 'Kaz', "Kyrg' and 'Taj' respectively and write anything you want and then finish it in 'Stan'. eg. 'Taj said hello to Stan'

For Federated States of Micronesia, you can just include 'Micronesia' in your response and it will work. eg. 'During the holidays, I visited Micronesia'

Although the Düsseldorf one is still spelled wrong, the "ue" makes sense, as that is an acceptable alternative spelling of "ü," and probably more accurate than "Dusseldorf," which would be pronounced differently without the umlaut.

I guess not Philly, but Duesseldorf should definitely be accepted, it's just an alternate spelling.

Yup, I always thought that adding an e after a vowel that should have an umlaut was the standard way to do it if your keyboard doesn't have umlauts, though a German friend said he just ignores the umlaut and doesn't bother with the e either

Type ins like this are ridiculous for us of those who want to actually learn to spell the countries or cities, correctly, maybe not this bad, but for a while I thought Israel was spelt “Isreal” because I used JetPunk, and that is an acceptable type in. There should be an option to turn type ins off.
