Here's one for all those sporclers who curse the spellings of Herzegovina and Liechtenstein etc :) If I've missed any please let me know. I thank you in advance.

Change to 3 columns on the Style page and increase the font size of the headings by 2 and answers by one. Great idea!

Fun idea! But, of course, you couldn't really use country names in an official Scrabble game... LOL

Fun quiz, but I think too many countries are included. Maybe you could consider dropping the 8- and 9-point answers.

Great quiz, very good idea. What about putting together the inverse? The most valuable Scrabble countries. Kyrgyzstan finally gets its due!

Can't believe I'm the first to mention this, but if you make any of the 7-letter contries by using all of your tiles you would get a 50 point bonus for the bingo (using all your tiles). For that reason the quiz should be limited countries that are six letters or fewer.

You could also use the blank tiles and get even fewer points for longer names. Or hit a double word score and get extra points. I think it's pretty clear that this person is going by letter values alone.

I was surprised by the lack of China, but then again, I don't know how much each letter is worth in Scrabble.

I should've read the Kyrgyzstan note before taking this quiz. No wonder it gives so many points, though!

I would've probably done a lot better if I could actually remember the letters' values beyond the vowels. (I do remember that the Q, X and Z are well up there but I'm less sure about the majority of the other consonants.)

Of course, most of these countries are ineligible in Scrabble. Two of them, Guinea and Tonga,
are
acceptable in the U.S. version. If you look in the UK Scrabble dictionary, you will also find Angola, Canada, Greece, Mali, Niger, Russia, and Spain.

Interesting quiz, but I wonder why because Scrabble doesn't allow proper names and words so its sort of a moot point :-/

**scrabble nerd alert** when you use all seven letters in scrabble you get a 50 point bonus. so should any country that has seven letters or more should be invalid? either way, fun quiz.

@cotuitkid: as you say, the 50-point bonus (serious scrabble nuts apparently call it the "bingo") is only if you use all your seven letters — so long words don't necessarily trigger it if some of their letters were on the board already. So you can quite happily make seven-letter and longer countries without getting the bonus...

**sporcle nerd alert** when you read all the previous comments in sporcle you got a 50 point comment rating. so should any comment that has already been made before should be invalid? either way, terrible comment.

i understand all this like nerd alert stuff and all, but technically wouldnt a country (or word for that matter) need to be eight letters since you have to play your 7 tiles off the letter of another word (except for a couple of unique scenarios)

@Pit_trout: you're right. didn't think about that. good call. @marpocky: you seem to have a lot of unnecessary anger. maybe you were going for snarky in your comment, but it just came across as sexually frustrated teenager. relax. i was wrong. it's not the end of the world.

The scrabble score part of my brain was working, the basic counting part was not! Missed a lot of the nine point ones just because I thought they had too many or nearly too many letters.

I'm not familiar with the scrabble point system, but I would have assumed Chad would have to be a pretty terrible scoring country.

@geowiz85 Nope as in many instances the seven letters could stand alone with one of the letters being used to extend a word already on the board.
