Every Country and Its Continent flashcards — questions people ask

How many cards are in the Every Country and Its Continent flashcard deck?
The Every Country and Its Continent deck on PuzzlePage has 201 cards. The first 30 are free to play and free to download with no account; the remaining 171 unlock for $2.99 as a one-time payment, or with the $11.99-a-month Study Pack, which covers every deck on the site. 201 cards: 195 countries and six cards that say what the deck counts and why. 195 is the UN M49 list of 248 countries or areas minus the 53 areas that are not sovereign states, and it equals the 193 UN member states plus the two permanent observer states, the Holy See and the State of Palestine. Most of those 53 are dependencies, but Antarctica and Western Sahara are not dependencies of anyone, and M49 marks no area as dependent — so the subtraction follows a stated rule rather than being read off the table. The count itself is checked by script.
What is on the every country and its continent flashcards?
All 195 countries — the 193 UN members plus the Holy See and Palestine — placed on a continent by the UN M49 geoscheme, with every transcontinental case flagged. Cards look like this: Algeria → Africa — UN M49: Northern Africa; Egypt → Africa — UN M49: Northern Africa. The Sinai Peninsula is usually counted as Asia. The deck is written for grades 6–12 and filed under social studies.
Can I study every country and its continent flashcards online for free?
Yes. The first 30 cards of the Every Country and Its Continent deck play free in any web browser at puzzlepage.app, with no account, no app and no card details. It works on a phone, tablet, Chromebook, laptop or classroom projector. Practice mode flips through the cards with nothing scored; quiz mode makes you answer each card before it flips, times the run and scores it.
Are the every country and its continent flashcards accurate?
Every card in the Every Country and Its Continent deck cites two independent published sources — two different organisations, not a standards body and a site reprinting it — and a script checks that, rather than taking the writer's word for it. A second specialist then re-verified the deck against sources of their own, without reading the citations first. That is the difference from a user-generated flashcard site, where the cards are whatever a stranger typed and nobody is accountable for them.
Can I print the every country and its continent flashcards?
Yes. The Every Country and Its Continent cards are available as a printable double-sided PDF to cut up, as well as playable in the browser. The first 30 cards are free to download; the full 201-card printable is included in the $11.99-a-month Study Pack.
How should I use the Every Country and Its Continent deck to revise?
Start in practice mode and go through the Every Country and Its Continent deck once without scoring, to find out which cards you already know — the deck is dealt in a different order every time you open it, so you are recalling the card rather than its position. Then switch to quiz mode, which times and scores the run and lets you re-run only the cards you missed. Use the "flip deck" control to swap which side is the question: recognising an answer is much easier than producing one, so a deck you find easy one way round is usually the harder and more useful drill the other way. Two or three short sessions across a week beat one long one, which is the whole reason flashcards work.
What grade level are the every country and its continent flashcards for?
The Every Country and Its Continent deck is written for grades 6–12. Because the cards are plain term-and-answer pairs, they are also used outside that band — by adults revising social studies, and by teachers running them as a whole-class starter on a projector.
