What the cheat sheet covers
The cheat sheet lists every country with its capital, grouped by continent so you can learn one region at a time. It is built from the same 197-country dataset as the quizzes, so the answers match what the games test. Print it, keep it next to you while you play, and cross off each continent as you learn it.
Countries per continent
| Continent | Countries | Largest by area |
|---|---|---|
| Africa | 54 | Algeria |
| Asia | 48 | China |
| Europe | 46 | Russia |
| North America | 23 | Canada |
| Oceania | 14 | Australia |
| South America | 12 | Brazil |
How to make it stick
Learn one region at a time rather than the whole world alphabetically. Memory for places is spatial, so countries learned next to their neighbours are recalled far more reliably than countries learned from a list.
Short, repeated sessions beat one long one. Ten minutes today, a quick review tomorrow and another a few days later will hold far more than an hour of cramming. When you miss an answer, say the correct one out loud before moving on — the correction is where most of the learning happens.
Mix the three angles for each country: where it is on the map, what its flag looks like, and what its capital is. Each one gives you a hook for the other two.
