Tips for recognising a flag

  • Start by identifying dominant colours and layout: vertical or horizontal stripes, Nordic cross, triangle at the hoist.
  • Central symbols often reveal a region: a sun for South America, a cedar for Lebanon, a crescent for countries with a Muslim tradition.
  • Pan-African colours (green, yellow, red) and pan-Arab colours (red, white, black, green) immediately narrow the field.
  • When hesitating between neighbours, play the best-known one: it costs a try but reveals three more tiles.
  • Watch for near-identical pairs: Chad and Romania, Monaco and Indonesia, Ireland and Côte d'Ivoire differ only by a shade or an aspect ratio.
