About this quiz
The board is dealt from lists Ribbia already holds: Countries, Capital cities, US states, US state capitals, Chemical elements, Constellations, Moons of the solar system, Shakespeare plays, Greek letters. Reading fast is half the game; the other half is not clicking the name you were looking out for.
- Georgia and Jordan are never safe squares here: a name that is also a country is never dealt as one.
- The grid is shuffled for every play, and the first play of the day is the same for everyone.
- One wrong click ends the round, so a slow sure click beats a fast guess.
