Name all countries in North America

How this quiz works

23 countries — and only three of them are the ones everybody names first. The rest are Central America and the Caribbean.

The Lesser Antilles are where this one is won: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Dominica waits for Enter, because it is also the start of Dominican Republic.

When the clock runs out, or when you give up, every country you missed is revealed.

Questions people ask

How many countries are there in North America?

23 sovereign states, counting Central America and the Caribbean island nations along with Canada, the United States and Mexico. Territories such as Puerto Rico, Greenland and the Cayman Islands are not countries and are not included.

Can I change the timer?

Yes. Pick 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes before you start, or choose Count up — that mode has no limit and the clock stops the moment you get the last one, so it doubles as a speedrun timer. Your choice is remembered for next time.

Does spelling have to be exact?

Capitals, spaces, hyphens, punctuation and accents are all ignored, so “usa”, “st lucia” and “antigua” all count. Where one answer is the start of another, the shorter one waits for Enter so the longer one stays typeable.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install, no ads in the way of the board. Your best score is kept in your own browser and never leaves your device.
