West Africa runs from the Atlantic coast into the Sahel and the inland countries behind the Gulf of Guinea. The group includes Senegal, Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and many smaller neighbors.
How the typing map quiz works
One country is highlighted on the map. Type its name to answer, using the map shape and location as your clue. The round continues through all 16 countries, making this useful for spelling practice as well as map recognition.
Gameplay tip: Say each answer in your head before typing it. That small pause helps connect the written name to the map.
