Can you type the first 2 letters of each country in 90 seconds? They'll have to be the ones of the "full jetpunk name" shown in the Countries of the World quiz!
To make it, you must type 202 characters, corresponding to 26.9 Words per Minute
This is doable if you work on it. Its not really a test of your ability to name all the countries just speed at entering a variety of letters. I didn't do very well but what I did get was just entering, ae, as, at, al, au, and so on.
I think just the opposite; it's not about how many you can name to me, its how fast you can think of the name. I looked at the countries and entered the first two letters, and even if i waste my time entering the first two letters of only one country, like rw (versus the first two of many countries, like you did) I would still do pretty good.
Think you know the countries like the back of your hand? Try seeing if you can list them in reverse alphabetical order with my new quiz, Countries of the World Z-A: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/284204/countries-of-the-world-z-a
My plan would be to work out how many begin with Q, then W, then E ... etc then just type them in order like that. I think you'd need to plan it out rather than just thinking of the countries and typing them. At least I would.

So I counted 99 different pairs of letters, give or take. I don't think that's doable in 90 seconds, unless you forget about countries and just memorize every pair.
I agree. I felt the same and to prove it, created a list of all the 2-letter combos necessary to complete the quiz. Even with the list I barley could type them in all fast enough, and I'm not a terrible typist.
I'm a terrible typist and did it without a list after 5 tries with 3 seconds remaining, I don't think a list would have helped me either. Just another thing to concentrate on.
Not surprised that those are the most and least guessed for singles and multiples; Russia is huge so it catches you eye and you type RU but the Vatican and Vanuatu are tiny and harder to see in the panic of 90 seconds

i will master this quiz.. i only got 136 on my first try.. im so used to typing in the whole country name so screws me up i will have left over letters lol
The K's are actually easy, as all you have to remember is the K is followed by ALL vowels (KAzakhstan, KEnya, KIribati, KOsovo, KUwait and KYrgyzstan), the only letter where that works :)
After trying many, many times, I finally got every country with 4 seconds remaining. I usually got 190+ but was missing some countries like Luxembourg and Trinidad and Tobago (since you can barely see them on the map) and only got them after looking at the results
You just have to develop a system for catching the ones you always miss. I always start with KIMITREA to get Kiribati, Micronesia, Trinidad/Tobago and East Timor, then fill in the small European countries (Vatican, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Malta), Cyprus and Kuwait (the other ones I miss most often).
Best strategy for me: Western Europe starting from Portugal > Central > Northern>Balkans > Middle East > West Asia (...stan) > Central Asia > SE Easia > Oceania > Central America > South America > Rest of Africa.
I've tried it a gazillion times, and best time was 10 seconds remaining. But I've managed to win it after 50 or so tries...
So, the description is actually fallacious. Unless you take the pairs of letters and combine them to make other, larger words you have to type at a speed of over 60 wpm. It is definitely faster than 23 wpm, because taken as individual pairs they must each be considered a single word. My best so far is 159 and that is after 25 tries. Stating the obvious, but this quiz is quite challenging.
So this is a typing test, not a knowledge-based test. Wow! I so wish I was a 120 word-per-minute typist. This type of test is nothing to do with a quiz, its a physical ability test.
I cant beat this one for the life of me😢 I go back and remember stuff so I can learn and retake it till I get 100 percent. My score is perfect on every quiz ive taken except for a few of timed ones like this. This is a really great quiz though!!!
Got it with 4 seconds to spare, the secret is, type ki, mi, ea, lu, fi, so you don't forget the tiny countries, and type the rest as fast as you can without looking at the timer
Had it al roughly 185 for ages. Used a different approach this time, did it with 3 seconds left (after several attempts). That's one thing i won't be going for again for a while. xD
Still can't type fast enough. This is a typing test, nothing more. Nothing at all to brag about except you can type fast. It doesn't denote intelligence at all, ridiculous quiz, don't know why I keep doing it. This site should be fun so why make it a typing skills test? Why cant there be a version with a little more time? And while I am asking quiz master, why are there so many quizzes with no points? You have to score a lot of points to move up a level. What is the point of having pointless quizzes on the site?
Rely9 The point of this website is not to see how high level you are, or to brag. It's to test your skills, also for almost every quiz you have to type so if you are complaining about your inability to type 2 letters per. This quiz isn't supposed to be super easy either even normal speed typers or faster typers could lose a few times. If you want to complain,just don't play the quiz. Easy
Why are so many quizzes based on an impossible typing speed for many people? I com-lain about this all the time and never get a response. Another 30 seconds would be huge.
Knowing all the countries definitely helps. Trying to learn all by the first two letters is a challenge. Especially the 'S' countries. They have many more different second letters than any other letter. SA, SE, SI, SL, SO, SP, SR, ST, SU, SW, SY.
