Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Well, if you don't really know, use the basic hangman rules, people: give the v chance, then try the most likely consonants, NSTR. BY then, even before you get through that whole list you should have narrowed the field significantly.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I don't use those stupid hang man rules. I type the whole name on the first guess. When Cote d'Ivoire didn't work I went with Ivory Coast but the program should still use official national names.

It has Germany's capital as "Berlin / Bonn" - I think the dataset is quite old...

I got 192/192 on the first try. Pretty good, considering the number of capitals I had never heard of before

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I got Malawi, Macedonia, Namibia, and Bangladesh wrong before giving up at 26/198.

To be honest, I think the interface is crappy. You can't enter letters from the keyboard, but you can't make an immediate guess with the mouse. The buttons are too far apart, and their alphabetic sorting is almost a pain.

I had to look up 10. The interface does suck, but I learnt that Honduras has the same vowel placement as Portugal, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
