Type the Capitals: West Africa Quiz

A compact coast with a wide Sahel

West Africa has a crowded Atlantic coast and a broad inland Sahel. Nigeria and Ghana are familiar to many players, but several smaller coastal countries sit right beside them.

Ghana is a useful coastal landmark. Farther west, several small countries sit almost on top of one another at normal zoom.

How the capitals quiz works

A country is highlighted and named. Type its capital. Smurdy marks the capital on the map for a moment before the next question.

Capital mode makes the most sense once the countries or states themselves are familiar.

Tip: Try to get the city from memory before you look for the answer dot.

The coastal sequence gets crowded

The coastline is where most close misses happen. Inland, the large shapes can also blend together.
