Might reorder the questions so Brazil's currency is above the king's area. Or could replace one with Salem.

Finding Marseille also gives Mars, which may partly explain why Mars is the most guessed answer...

While I agree, my first guess was Marseille...for whatever reason it just stuck out to me.

Could you accept "one mile" or "a mile"
+1
Level 76
Sep 8, 2015
Answers are all a single word, and in any case there wouldn't be enough available letters in the grid to create "one mile".

But it doesn't say. It just says 'solve geographical answer' not one-word. "A mile" could most definitely work.

In which case you could also have a lime, a euro, a lei... We'll update the instructions to be clear.

"Sir" is the title. The actual position is called a "knight".

This was the first time I've ever gotten the 9-letter word. I guessed Marseille for the French city question though.

Reims is a pretty depressing little city, but a good overnight stop on the way down to the South

“63360 inches”... you expect me to know that without knowing what one is?

You have never heard of an inch?? Not knowing the exact measurement, sure. But never heard of it, sounds weird seeing as you can write a full english sentence. That is like an american saying they have never heard of a kilometer.

I don't know French regions, which got me the 9-letter word as I started typing in French cities that seemed to include the letters for that question. It might be better to change that question so that can't happen.
