Originle tips: how to narrow down the country
Start with the region. Use hint 2 as a cut for language, coastline, or a neighbor count. The first letter helps only after that list is short.
The video can show a city, a sign, or a flag that this page does not describe. Match those to the region before you spend a guess. Hint 3 uses the English common name, not the local name.
