	Xanadu is also the name of a mall / entertainment complex opening in the Meadowlands which will be the largest mall in the U.S. If they ever finish it, that is.

	@ArtVandaley: The 14th letter of the Greek alphabet is not chi. Chi looks like X and is the 22nd letter. The 14th letter is xi and looks like three horizontal lines (capital) or a squiggly E (lower-case).

	@bostnboy part of sporcling is trying to think of every possible answer or even anticipating answers. so whats wrong with trying every "xword" i can think of before looking at the clues... they call them that for a reason

	@Roman I typed xi'an, xian, x'ian, xiian, xiann, and so on for the China one before remembering xanadu meant teal colored. Xi'an was the capital of a dynasty of China at some point in time.

	Nover220:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 19:53 GMT	1 point
	@JonnyWalker, Yes you are right, Xi'an was once the capital of China, but when it was, it was called "Chang-an"

	@gangsterls I KNEW I heard Xanadu before and it wasn't in terms of China or "teal colored"! Just happened to be advertised all around the greatest sports stadium ever (that is unfortunately going to be taken down soon...)
