Wow, what a difference adding a seventh letter makes! Far more challenging and enjoyable. Is it just me, or did the solution for Group C unveil itself after inputting only the first 6 letters?

Thanks, just wait until I add an 8th letter! Good catch, I have added the missing letter.

Also, a question for the highly educated Sporcle geography crowd. I spent FOREVER looking for another non-obscure 7 letter place with the 5th letter 'b'(Namibia is the only one I found). It took a long time to get two words to cross diagonally while being able to fill it in with other countries and after I finally figured that out I had to scrap it all because I just couldn't find one. This is just to satisfy my own curiosity now - but I know that there has to be some - what did I miss?

How obscure is obscure? As a jumping-off point, I thought of places that might end in Bay — such as Coos Bay, Oregon; or the Back Bay section of Boston. Or are two-word answers off the table?

Good thinking, I never considered using bay - and I used St. Louis and St. Lucia so 2 words are fine, although I must say that even if I had come up with either of those I wouldn't have used them since they aren't well known enough. But they are much better than the nothing I came up with.

@caramba: Coimbra! I should've thought of that! Haven't heard of Setubal though. @yippeeyappee: HA - clever, and it wouldn't surprise me if some town somewhere has changed their name to that for the tourism.

Nope, can't find any other well-known places... There's Antibes on the Cote d'Azur, Dhanbad in India, Vicebsk in Belarus, Maribor in Slovenia, Celebes (former name of Sulawesi). Alright, I did a little bit of research, but I thought it was an interesting quest ;)

very minor comment on an otherwise fantastic quiz...when i went to put in "st louis", i included a space as i normally would, but it wouldn't accept it - i'm thinking this may be because of your parentheses in the answer? possibly consider taking "st louis" with the space if that's something you can fix. if not...i'm sure people are smart enough to figure it out. again...fantastic job putting this together!

@Onno; Thanks for that, I appreciate it - and I'm disappointed that I didn't at least think of Celebes (I've seen it many times playing Axis & Allies) although I wouldn't have used it anyway.@metagloria: I have no idea why it wouldn't accept it with the space, but I have added it (and St Lucia). Thanks for the help.

I thought maybe Mumbai would have an alternative spelling/obsolete version which would satisfy your criteria (you wouldn't be able to use it, of course, so just for fun) - apparently it was recorded as Boon Bay in 1690 by British explorers. Azkaban is probably the least obscure answer suggested thus far... The largest city I've been able to find that satisfies the criterion is Nigeria's Calabar with 1.2 million. Any higher? (...I realize all of this is highly useless to your quiz, but it's a fun challenge!)

St. Lucia! Dagnabit. Well, if it were up to me, I'd have you put a "." (period) in between, but this counts. GREAT QUIZ.

Actually,I think Celebes would have been a good enough suggestion, as it's still the name of a Sea in the Pacific.

This was great! However, HACKAIR/ Karachi also unjumbles as Chakari. That one caught me up a bit

I don't like abbreviations as part of jumbles. This is well done, but at least one I didn't get because I wasn't looking for abbreviations. Nothing in the directions about it either. When you have mixed cities, states, and countries, that should be enough.

Just guessing countries when I landed on Armenia. I was proud of that. Nice quiz.

Might be a little bit easier if each group had some sort of theme. Otherwise you're kind of pulling at straws here.

I suppose that (when possible) the quizmaker tried to use real words for the scrambled names, like RED NAIL, NON ABLE or ARMY MAN. Some of them are even related to the names of the countries: if you walk in Lesotho you can get a HOT SOLE. Zloty is the currency of Poland AS RUBLE is that of Belarus. Like in other Islamic countries, in Bahrain there is a HAIR BAN (at least for women).

There should be a special forfeit for idiot people like me who didn't get the country they come from. REDNAIL - gah!

Time should be extended. This is a very challenging puzzle with a mixture of cities, states and countries. Making it a race against the clock just takes away from the enjoyment of an excellent quiz.

I like jumble word quizzes, and I like geography quizzes. To me a better hybrid is one that actually draws on geographical knowledge beyond just name recognition - like dcmldcml suggested with thematic groups.

Very difficult! Especially when you aren't sure if the answer is a city, country, or a state in the U.S. I got all the final answers, filling in the gaps by guessing, but I got stumped on a lot of the regular answers in the different groups.

Very nicely constructed puzzle! Never thought I'd be able to finish it, but the more you get, the more clues you have and the easier it is to complete. Five orbs.
