Making an Entourage quiz, but for some reason, these extra answer bubbles keep appearing, and I'm not sure why. I feel like I've tried everything. Anyone have an idea how to get rid of them?

Sorry if no one else cares, but I had to share this somewhere. I did the first typing challenge relatively easily, but #2 was so much more difficult. I've been trying to get that off and on for years. Officially my play count was 34 tries, but in reality it was at least 3x more, including all the times I just quit because I had messed up. I reached 45 words a few times, but finally got #46 today. There are some badges that I'll just never get. But out of the ones that I felt were achievable, this one was my nemesis. I'm more relieved than happy about finally getting it.

I got 196 with 6 minutes but then spent 2 minutes trying to remember doha smhh. Been practicing since last month, I got countries, flags, and capitals now. What should I learn next? I was thinking rivers.

I was trying to find a flag quiz online that included every actually sovereign state (there are 205), not just UN + Taiwan or Kosovo, but didn't include constituent countries like Scotland or Greenland, and also not territories like Hong Kong or Puerto Rico.

I could find quizzes with the exact count, but never the correct countries, so I decided to just make my own. I created an account on Sporcle, speedran 20 quizzes to get verified or whatever, and made the quiz, which has 5 plays, one of them by me, as of making this post.

A de facto sovereign state is defined as a governmental body with supreme authority over a defined territory.

I just found this subreddit today. I saw a post from a few weeks ago about how Sporcle changed the daily acrostics, requiring us to subscribe or watch ads. I didn't like that, so I stopped playing them. However, I get my daily fix from another web site. Give solveandsmile.com a try. I'm in no way affiliated with that site. I'm simply passing on a recommendation to my fellow Sporclers.

The acrostics on Solve and Smile are all humorous quotes, and the initials of the bottom answers spell out the person who made the quote. When I get stuck, I sometimes can figure out who said the quote (usually someone famous), which helps me get more letters on the grid.

The site used to only provide one free puzzle per day (requiring a subscription to play more than one), but the site has recently opened up the archives for free (almost 2000 acrostics).

The clues are a mix of difficulty. Some very easy. Some very obscure. But I've been able to solve all of the puzzles I've played - sometimes needing a thesaurus or a web search to get me unstuck.

The downside - the site doesn't keep track of your stats or rank you against other people. But it does feel good when you solve a tough puzzle.

Delete this post if you feel it doesn't belong here. I've been on Sporcle for 16 years and have played over 35,000 quizzes, and have no plans on stopping. I'll keep an eye on this sub and contribute to it if anything comes to mind.
