Rules & what counts
English-Speaking Countries — Rules & What Counts
Name every country where English is an official or national language. It's far more than the obvious anglosphere — English is official across six continents, mostly in places people forget.
With 38 answers, this is the largest of the language modes. The Caribbean, the Pacific, and Africa hold most of the surprises.
How to play
Just start typing — no need to click the input first. Every correct country lights up on the map the moment you finish typing it.
Spelling is forgiving, and common alternate names are accepted — Burma works for Myanmar, and Holland works for the Netherlands.
Tiny states like Monaco or Tuvalu appear as small circles on the map so they stay findable at world scale.
The clock counts up; finish faster to climb the leaderboard. Give up at any time to reveal what you missed.
Want a different challenge on the same map? Extra modes cover clicking countries we name, flags, capitals, landlocked countries, and more.
What counts in this quiz
38 countries where English holds official or national status — the dataset counts legal status, not how widely English is actually spoken.
That's why the United States qualifies while ubiquitous-English countries like the Netherlands or Sweden don't — English has no official status there.
What's not included — and why
Territories and dependencies — Greenland belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, Puerto Rico is a US territory, and Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, so none of them are answers.
Constituent countries — Curaçao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and England, Scotland, and Wales are parts of the United Kingdom, not sovereign states. Typing England or Scotland is credited to the United Kingdom.
Unrecognized claimants beyond Taiwan and Kosovo — places like Somaliland or Transnistria lack broad international recognition, so they are not counted.
Good to know
Vatican City is the smallest country in the world at about 0.44 square kilometers — the entire nation is smaller than many golf courses.
South Sudan is the newest widely recognized country, gaining independence from Sudan in 2011.
Kiribati is the only country that sits in all four hemispheres — it straddles both the equator and the 180th meridian.
