Ha, yep, you can put any letters in the middle on that one and it will work. (Unless you mean on this quiz? Only the correct spelling should work here).

Even then, it'd help if you spelled it correctly! It's Côte d'Ivoire, you missed the "i". Still, it should be accepted.

At the beginning of this quiz I was laughing at the dunderheads who couldn't spell liechtenstein.

Then, after many frustrated attempts to get the computer to accept my spelling, I realized that I was one of them.

Thank you, overtired, for teaching me something today.

I know but not only does The Bahamas require it as part of their name, but I've seen it written as both on different quizzes. Adding "the" doesn't change the fact that you know how to spell "Bahamas"

Kyrgyzstan acceptes anything between the "Kyrg" and "stan" so Kyrgabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzstan, Kyrgkyrgyzstan, Kyrgdcvbuytfdfghyfghgfcvbhjhstan, and Kyrgdemocraticrepublicofthecongostan work.

It’s Kyrgyz, the name of the people, + stan, meaning “country”. Kyrgyz, really simple word, just two syllables, no junk letters, every letter pronounced in a predictable way. It’s just that people decided that in romanization, we should represent the Kyrgyz sound /ɯ/ (similar to “schwa”) with the letter Y. You just read letter by letter and that’s exactly how you pronounce Kyrgyzstan/Кыргызстан in Kyrgyz. (Of course, you pronounce G as the real G, as G in “good”, not softened, as J, as in “George”.)

If you don't know, anything that's put between the, "kyrg," and the, "stan," works. So, "kyrgastan," "kyrghnstan," and, most surprisingly...

"kyrgThere are many different kinds of animals that live in China. 2 Tigers and leopards are animals that live in China's forests in the north. 2 In the jungles, monkeys swing in the trees, and elephants walk through the brush. The cities in China are filled with millions of people. 2 There are camels in the deserts in China that people use for transportation. 3 Lots of different kinds of animals make their home in China.stan"

No joke. This is because of the Regex used. Any words that start with kyrg and end with stan work.

Maybe add a caveat or an obvious question early to let us know that both “____ and ____” are required. I took awhile for barbooda after trying the typical first part and then the last part, but not both together. I thought a long time about whether another country might work before figuring you must want the entire thing in the jetpunk quiz rather than just knowing the actual spelling.

I could add a caveat but it’s already written in the instructions as a separate paragraph. I put it there instead of in a caveat so that people read it. Caveats are more often ignored.

agree with the last comment. having to type in Antigua and Barbuda does not follow the rest of your quiz clues nor does it follow jet punk protocol that allows just Antigua to be typed on any other quiz to get it correct. so why require having the full country name when that is not the objective here. at least I thought you were going for correct spelling not full country name.

The instructions say to type in the answer revealed by jetpunk when these are typed. All the answers follow the same rules. It’s also in the title of the quiz. Barbuda isn’t a country.

But "The Bahamas" is actually more correct than just "Bahamas", regardless of what other JetPunk quizzes tell you.

For most country names that can include a definite article, the article is added or removed based on grammatical context. But "The Bahamas" is one of the few country names that always includes the article.

No it doesn't. Even on its own wikipedia page, the "the" is often uncapitalised. And JetPunk doesn't include it in the name.
