The Welsh village name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch — Europe's longest place name at 58 letters — was created as a 19th-century tourism stunt. Cymru is a small Celtic nation of around 3.13 million people on Britain's western edge, with its own ancient language, a fearsome rugby tradition, the soaring peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia), and a string of UNESCO-listed castles built by Edward I to subdue the Welsh princes. From coal valleys to male voice choirs, Wales packs immense cultural depth into 20,779 square kilometres.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll cover Welsh geography from Cardiff to Caernarfon, Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog), Edward I's Iron Ring of castles, Owain Glyndŵr's rebellion, the Tudor dynasty's Welsh roots, the Welsh language and Eisteddfod tradition, the red dragon flag, rugby legends from Gareth Edwards to Sam Warburton, the coal-mining valleys, the Aberfan disaster, Tom Jones and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dylan Thomas, and Welsh foods like cawl, bara brith, and Welsh cakes.
English is the dominant language across Wales, but Welsh (Cymraeg) is co-official and spoken by around 28% of the population, with stronger concentrations in the north and west. Welsh is a Celtic language closely related to Cornish and Breton, and the Welsh government aims for one million Welsh speakers by 2050.
Snowdonia National Park is officially known as Eryri in Welsh. In 2022 the park authority adopted Eryri as its sole official name, encouraging both the Welsh and English speaking world to use the original Welsh place name and its highest peak Yr Wyddfa rather than 'Snowdon'.
Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is the highest mountain in Wales at 1,085 metres (3,560 feet), making it also the highest peak in England and Wales combined. It sits in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and is one of the most-climbed mountains in the world.
