Blanks: Common Country Names
Familiar country names appear with some letters missing. They may look obvious at first glance, but seeing them in written form can cause a moment of hesitation. This beginner-friendly stage lets you enjoy that discovery while getting comfortable with country-name blanks.
A fun way to check common country names
You know these countries. You’ve seen their names countless times. And yet, when a few letters are missing, you suddenly pause. This fill-in-the-blank quiz challenges you to complete familiar country names by recalling their exact spelling. It’s a simple format, but actively filling the gaps makes the correct form stick far better than just recognizing it.
What this quiz is about
This quiz focuses on well-known country names only. Each question shows a country name with some letters missing, and your task is to complete it correctly. Nothing obscure, nothing tricky on purpose—just a clean and accessible starting point for country-name fill-ins.
Why fill-in quizzes work so well
Instead of choosing from options, you reconstruct the name from memory. That small extra effort makes a big difference in how firmly the spelling stays with you. Because the gaps are limited, the challenge feels light while still being engaging.
What kind of names appear
The countries you’ll see are ones you encounter regularly in maps, news, sports, and everyday conversation. They look easy—until you actually have to fill in the missing letters and realize how much you rely on intuition.
Common pitfalls
