World Grid

Nine spaces. Nine countries. Connect the clues.

How to play & scoring

Fill each cell with a country meeting both its row and column rules. Use each country once. Aim for nine correct cells.

Worked example

A cell at the intersection of top 50 in one category and top 100 in another needs a country meeting both conditions. If eight of your nine cells qualify, your score is eight correct cells.

Examples illustrate the rules. They are not real country statistics or answers to your round.

What to watch for

Each country can appear only once. Solve the narrowest intersections first, then keep flexible countries for the remaining spaces. You can edit your choices before submitting the grid.
