Reminds me of orienteering - you can mow a few down quickly, then you get stuck on one for ages. The art is in staying relaxed and calm when that happens...
I saw all but 3 countries ( plus secret country) instantly, like they were written normally. In the end I did manage to get 2 of the 3 difficult ones and the secret one. So only one country was missing
A lot of people seem to have had trouble with israel. I don't really understand why. Serbia is at 45% and israel at 25% both 6 letter and the anagram looks a lot alike only an the l and b are different. So why is one twice as hard as the other?
Siberia came into my mind for a split sec aswell, but I think that was actually what trigger serbia for me. (not by association of any kind, but well the words are close both starting with and s and ending with ia. So s...ia ow yeah!)
So close! I got everything but Suriname. I was stuck on Iceland forever. Funny how you look at some scrambled names and they immediately come to you, but then you get this mental block on others. Good quiz!
When unscrambling country names, I try to remember to automatically look for -LAND and -STAN in each name. If you spot either of those, the rest of the name will usually be fairly simple to unscramble.
19, found Liechtenstein obvious when I got to it because of how overwhelming it looks, like you know there can only be so many countries with that many letters
I got lucky. The secret country is where I'm from, so I was able to solve it from just a few letters. Iceland really put me off, but I managed to get them all in the end!
nice quiz! Very easy in the beginning, very challenging near the end! I got the secret country with 8 second to spare and couldnt get the last one on the list. And the previous too gave me some difficulties too.
Thanks!
Also just realized Serbia is an anagram of rabies

Excellent idea! Nominated!
