Type the Countries: South America Map Quiz

A clean outline with a tricky northern edge

South America has only a dozen sovereign countries, so the whole set is manageable. Most of the trouble is near the north and around the two landlocked countries.

Chile is hard to lose. Guyana and Suriname are where the northern edge starts demanding more attention.

How the typing map quiz works

One country is highlighted. Type its name and move on to the next one. You get the location as a clue, but the name has to come from memory.

Typing is useful once the shapes feel familiar but some of the names still lag behind.

Tip: If you recognize the shape but the name is slow, say the name out loud or in your head before typing.

Use the Andes and the coastlines

Brazil is hard to miss and touches most of the continent. Use it as the country you check everything else against.
