How to approach it

The productive move is to switch from memory to reference work. Rather than free-associating famous cities, open a gazetteer or a cartographic service and scroll through the administrative registers of countries whose place names routinely absorb a definite article. Work region by region, and once you land somewhere promising, zoom in rather than out: the smaller the locality, the less likely the crowd has already claimed it. Keep the six permitted openings in view so you never waste a guess on a near miss beginning with a different particle. Where a name repeats across dozens of villages, expect duplication and little reward; where it appears once, submit it. Confirm the entry is a populated place and not a district, beach or landmark before committing.

Get a hint

Start with the naming traditions that fuse a definite article to a place name, then ask which parts of the world you have explored least rather than which you know best.

A little more

Value sits well below the famous tier: villages, hamlets, suburbs and rural clusters appear in detailed gazetteers but almost never in ordinary conversation.

One step further

Size decides everything, because a name borne by one tiny locality scores far better than one shared by a metropolis, so hunt obscure administrative lists instead of skylines.

Why these answers count

The distribution is extraordinarily lopsided: of the 11,495 submissions that cleared the bar, 11,457 sat at 85 points, thirty-seven dropped to 60, and exactly one reached 100. That shape teaches more than any single guess. The 85-point mass runs from hamlets such as El Abra and El Achir to entries plenty of players would recognise by name, like El Aaiún, which suggests the scoring rewarded any verifiable, non-obvious place rather than punishing modest fame. The thirty-seven names at 60 were the near-automatic picks that almost everyone produced. The lone maximum, La Ciotat, shows what separates the very top: a coastal town solid enough to be real yet peripheral enough that the crowd skipped it. Aim for that 85 band deliberately and treat 100 as a bonus. A household name costs twenty-five points; a village that exists on a gazetteer costs only a minute of verification.
