About this quiz
The names are the capital cities of Europe, read from a list Ribbia already holds. Every scramble uses exactly the letters of its name.
- A check marks every row at once. Right rows lock in green and the rest can be moved again.
- You have three checks, so the first can be a rough sort and the last a careful one.
- Each round takes 10 of 43 names.
- Counting letters is a fair shortcut: a seven letter scramble needs a seven letter name.

Note on the data. Capitals are those of Ribbia's shared country list, checked on 3 October 2026 against the US Department of State list of independent states. Only one word capitals written without accents are used. The scrambles are made from the names by a fixed shuffle, and a test checks that each uses exactly the letters of its name and that no two names share the same letters.
