Oh cool! I like the 2 idea: curious to see how far I get with these 2 with the other challenges for this year.

Question though: there aren't any sovereign countries that start with W: what would you be accepting for that one, Wales?

Kelly, this is fantastic. Thank you so much

Yes. Or, be creative and look look at things like Western Sahara, Wallis and Futuna Islands. Maybe even stretch it to a city name, or to a western part of a larger country like India.

Thanks! Sorry about that.

YW! It should be fun!

Hey all! I just noticed that I have Central America on there twice. Can any of you think of a region I could add?

cool thanks for the info.

you could also potentially do southern Europe or Southeast Asia as replacements?

Please everyone note that G4 is now Southern Europe instead of the duplicate. Does anyone have the skills t edit the photo of the board. If I go back to the original site it will rearrange all the squares on me.
