| Some people may complain about needing to get some answers before revealing all the categories. But don't listen to them. That's one thing that makes this quiz unique. I gave this one a 5 before finishing. |

| Unique, but no categories showed up after the first two, despite getting all possible answers for the first two categories. |

| @amwoods same thing happened to me after completing the first three categories |
 | sproutcm: | Oct 3rd, 2010 at 05:44 GMT | | 4 points |
@amwoods13/sammyhain Actually, from each of the categories, this many specific ones move you on to the next category:
Dwarfs (2 of 7)
Countries (3 of 12)
Presidents (4 of 18)
Elements (4 of 11)
Canada Words (5 of 21)
Yes, those are limited options but this is a blitz quiz so you have to think of lots of things in a short period of time. And sometimes you get lucky and hit it on the first shot. |

| Maybe clarify to still type in all of them even when the letter has been filled by an answer. First time around I typed in 5 dwarf names that fulfilled all of the alphabetical boxes as far as dwarfs were concerned. 2 overlap for D and S so I didn't bother to type both for each letter. Coincidentally, these 2 I ignored were the triggers for the second category which then made me very confused as to why it wasn't working and gave up. Loved the quiz once I figured this out but please try and either clarify it or try and fix it some other way. |

| @MattL1216 - ditto. it's the overlapping letters that confuse. if you already have a category then you don't try that letter, so cannot always get the next category. cannot understand why this has been editor picked when it has basic flaws. |

| Perhaps a little confusing, but a really neat idea. What *I* don't understand is how only 98.8% got "seven dwarfs" when that's the starting point--what answer, exactly, did four people get without even having any of the categories? |
 | Navarro2814: | Oct 3rd, 2010 at 13:19 GMT | | 6 points |
| It was confusing to me how only some got you to the next category. Also, I missed the point of A-Z, because I was just typing out random things from each category. I also didnt understand the "words in Canadian provinces" |
 | Mutford: | Oct 3rd, 2010 at 15:31 GMT | | 11 points |
| "Words appearing in the names of Canadian provinces and territories" is confusing. I tried "New," "Found" and "Land" for instance, which didn't help. "On," "Tar" for Ontario. These are words found within the names of the provinces and territories. You need to phrase your question more accurately. |

For those people who wanted all the categories to start, rather than having to win them by getting some of the answers, I made this version based on the feedback.

| I got an answer for every letter from A-Y, but didn't get the final hint to pop up. Unless I'm mistaken, there's no Z answer for the first 5 categories(?), so I didn't know how to proceed. |

| Obama? He doesn't seem to exist as far as the quiz is concerned! Otherwise I thought the quiz was terrific; please make more! |

| I also wonder why Obama is not included. I got O with Oxygen eventually, but still seems like a glaring omission. |

| @Steviejean, Island is part of "Prince Edward Island" |
| sproutcm: | Nov 18th, 2011 at 16:18 GMT | | 11 points |
| @princessofb/thewildboo Obama wasn't elected until the 21st century. So he's definitely not a 20th Century President. That's why he's not there. |

| Poorly designed quiz since I had no further clues to help with I L Q Y Z left. You need to account for all possibilities! |

| The bonus...or extra...answers make it hard to distinguish if you have all the categories...for instance I didn't even notice "I" was still blank. Okay, it's a lame excuse...but I'm trying here! Love the quiz. |

| I liked this quiz. I missed two, both in the Canadian category. Should I complain that this quiz is not U.S.-centric enough? |

| You need to include Iqaluit... and maybe a better hint for the Canadian category - I kept trying words like "in" or "on" or "man" as words inside names. |

| @Kmox: Iqaluit is a city, not a province or territory. It's the capital of Nunavut. |

| How come people don't check up facts on the internet before posting? ie. Obama is 21st century and Iqaluit is a city. |

i think u should abolish the "I" category because theres nothing that starts with them as im pretty sure island doesnt fit under any of those categories |
