ForgingIron suggested this week's challenge. The challenge is to name cities alphabetically using their first two letters.

Rules:

· You start from Aa, then Ab, Ac, Ad …. Zx, Zy, Zz

· You will add only one city beginning with Aa, then one city starting with Ab, and so on until Zz.

· If you don’t know a city starting with a specific group of letters, move on to the next pair you know.

· The cities must be in alphabetical order. If they are not, those in between will be deducted.

· Any format of the city name is accepted as long as one of the formats matches the above criteria.

​

This week's medal criteria are as follows:

· Gold: 250 cities

· Silver: 175 cities

· Bronze: 100 cities

​

Special flair: This week's special flair will be awarded to the person with the most countries/ territories.

Competition Rules:

· You must play from memory (no Google or 'every country/state' option).

· Any format of the city name is accepted as long as one of the formats matches the above criteria.

· I would also advise against guessing cities.

Duration:

I will always post the challenges Tuesday evenings at London time. You have one week to submit your results. I will still consider submissions from Wednesday, but unfortunately, you won't be considered for the special flair and IBTM.

If you want to submit your score, you will need to comment on this post with your link, score, and any special flair for that week.

Thank you for taking part in this challenge.

Good luck!
