| To find one for each letter, AND with that diagonal layout is a fantastic achievement. It's amazing it's possible at all, but very well done for even thinking of pursuing this idea in such a structured way. |

| @WyvernSabres Just making the game was like a game itself. Lots of fun, but it took a couple hours before I finally found a combination that worked. I wasn't even sure if it could be done, so I'm glad I didn't completely waste my time in the end! |

| This is definitely where sporcle has helped me over the years - being able to go around the world in my head, limiting myself to just 5-8 letter countries. Definitely couldn't have done this five years ago sans sporcle!! Great job puckett86 - definitely five globes! |

| Great quiz, and damned tough.
The countries in the fourth column don't fit into their boxes, so the last letter drops to the next line. This impedes brainstorming. Can you rejigger the column widths? Or the point size? |
 | puckett86: | Oct 29th, 2010 at 00:31 GMT | | 3 points |
| @gnatural I wasn't having that issue, but I just made the left columns a little wider. Hopefully that works for you now. |

| Incredible. Got them all with 14 seconds after spending probably 3 minutes searching the globe (in my mind) for the last one. |

| I just constructed one like this for capitals, although I had to cheat a little on one letter. puckett since this was your idea do I have your blessing to go ahead and make it? Or were you planning to do it yourself? |
 | puckett86: | Nov 1st, 2010 at 17:14 GMT | | 3 points |
| @marpocky Go for it. I look forward to trying it. Thanks for asking. |
 | marpocky: | Nov 3rd, 2010 at 19:36 GMT | | 2 points |
| I was trying to make it but I can't figure out the formatting. They don't have a hint, so I can't get them in the right columns like this quiz. Suggestions? |

| Thank heavens it doesn't keep track of time per answer, so now no one has to know that I was eight minutes in before I could think of a six-letter country starting with J. (Hey, wait a second...) |

| There is more than enough time to brute force and type all the countries of the world. Perhaps this one should force answers in order. |

| This is one of the most imaginatively creative quizzes for a long time. Well done Sporcle for publishing it (but what kept you all month?)! |

| Doesn't seem to be any real reason not to just type every country you can think of...more efficient than actually trying to figure them out. |

| How come noone else appears to have noticed that both Moldova and Mexico start with M... and that oman doesn't appear. |
 | White: | Nov 27th, 2010 at 17:20 GMT | | 6 points |
| ^ The given letter is the one that appears once for each letter, e.g. "_ _ _ _ M _ _ _" is the only M you get and "_ _ _ _ _ O _ _" is the only O you get. |

| I discovered that looking at it item by item let the visual "right brain" see the missing pieces. Like magic. But a little slowwww... |

| This quiz must have been a fun challenge to make. 5+6+7+8 = 26 letters but finding the unique letter-space-length combo for each...wow. |

| Yeah, that would be my suggestion. Anyone who can finish the Countries of the World quiz should just be able to run through 'em all and brute-force it. |

| Maybe I'm dense but I was confused by the note saying each letter A-Z appears exactly once when some answers like Qatar have the same letter (A in this case) more than once in just that one answer. |
