Can you name the 5, 6, 7, and 8 letter countries by guessing as few letters in their names as possible?

created by puckett86

Enter a code/country in the box below
Correctly named countries will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
Some wrong answers will appear in red
DIRECTIONS: Type one of the codes in the left column to guess that letter (e.g. to guess Q for the 6-letter country, type Q6). If the letter appears in the country's name, you will see where it appears. If it doesn't, it's counted as wrong. When you know the country, type it and you will get the remaining letters for that country!
NOTE: Each column contains one country and all the possible letters you may guess for that country.

	More challenging than I expected. Good work.

	springmom:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 04:25 GMT	30 points
	Okay, I can usually figure out how games work, but I have no clue for this one. I followed the directions, or so I thought, and nothing happened.

	Supersonicfan3:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 04:27 GMT	40 points
	took a bit to figure it out, but once I did I really enjoyed it

	Goducksgo:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 04:31 GMT	6 points
	Very clever stuff. Difficult at first, but once you figure it out it's a lot easier.

	krismacca:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 04:38 GMT	14 points
	@springmom - it's like Wheel of Fortune :) If you think there's an I in the name of the first country, type I5. It'll either show you where the I is, or tell you "wrong" (that letter isn't in there). Keep guessing letters to see which letters are in there until you figure out the country. Took me about 3 tries to figure it out. Cool format, much more fun than the "this or that" quizzes lately!

	Figured it out by typing all the codes in the first column. For some reason I thought there was more than one country per column, silly me :(

	DwightShelford:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 05:24 GMT	9 points
	@thecassidy, it can't be Gambia because when you type in G6 it says WRONG. That was my first thought too...

	Bio:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 06:06 GMT	33 points
	There should probably be a penalty for guessing the wrong country. 5% of people got 108/108, which means they didn't do anything but guess countries until they got the correct 5/6/7/8 letter answers.

	Riko:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 06:33 GMT	0 points
	@Bio: Totally agree. I got 102/108 (all luck) and that was only good enough for the 90th percentile. Something wrong with that bell-curve! Great quiz, but it's a shame people exploit it.

	Finished with one second left! Phew!

	Lisaswg22:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 07:33 GMT	4 points
	Lots of fun once you figure out what to do. If I knew how the scoring worked I would have worried less about the time limit and more about making strategic guesses.

	sirhc1801:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 08:11 GMT	2 points
	The most fun quiz I've ever done, well done.

	climber_v12:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 08:47 GMT	4 points
	I've got to say, this is an incredible quiz. I really admire the imagination of the author, and the perseverance I'm guessing it took to make this game. Five globes, but if you could, I'd give it a thousand.

	ben888:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 09:01 GMT	9 points
	@Bio: actually, 5% of people just reloaded the quiz and simply typed in the 4 correct countries. A waste of time I'm sure, but oh some people just got to have that perfect score!

	jobean82:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 09:21 GMT	5 points
	I didn't understand the instructions at all (didn't realise there was only one country per column) which may well be me being a bit slow. Once I'd read the comments it made more sense and I managed it. Very clever idea for a quiz!

	CooCooCachoo:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 09:23 GMT	1 point
	Great game. I agree with other commenters: there should be a penalty for guessing wrong countries (maybe even make it game over). Still, with 5 ticks I am in the 94th percentile so that's not too shabby.

	Golden:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 09:37 GMT	10 points
	Without a doubt, the cleverest use of this particular quiz format I've seen.

	TheCowboy:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 09:58 GMT	-2 points
	I played the quiz the correct way, but am I right in thinking you could just hammer all the codes in, then just piece the answers together from all the revealed letters?

	awesome quiz, great (new?) idea

	cool.

	puckett86:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 11:46 GMT	6 points
	@Bio Unfortunately not possible. With the way the wrong answer format currently is, when you guess a wrong answer you can only get one wrong answer, not multiple, so it was difficult to have a penalty for incorrect guesses. And @CooCooCachoo I couldn't have ended the quiz with an incorrect country guess because then guessing an incorrect letter would end the quiz!

	Tony_A:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 12:52 GMT	2 points
	spent about 10 seconds typing in countries of 5,6,7, and 8 letters and then decided to read the directions. Nice Sporcle version of a classic word game!
