Name a national capital city that starts with A or C

The rarest possible answer — almost no player finds it.

• Ashgabat— Holds the Guinness record for the most white marble buildings anywhere.

Genuinely obscure. Most players never think of it.

• Abidjan— Ivory Coast's ministries never left; Yamoussoukro is capital on paper.
• Aden— Yemen's recognised government has sat here since 2015, not Sana'a.
• Antananarivo
• Apia
• Asmara
• Castries
• Comayagüela— Honduras names it co-capital with Tegucigalpa in its constitution.
• Conakry
• Cotonou— Benin's government works from here, not official Porto-Novo.

Uncommon — only a minority of players land here.

• Abuja
• Accra
• Addis Ababa
• Algiers
• Amman
• Andorra la Vella
• Astana
• Asunción
• Cape Town— South Africa's parliament meets here, one of its three capitals.
• Chisinau
• Ciudad de la Paz— Equatorial Guinea moved its capital here from Malabo in January 2026.
• Colombo— Sri Lanka's executive sits here; Kotte holds the parliament.

A solid, middling pick shared with plenty of other players.

• Abu Dhabi
• Ankara
• Canberra
• Caracas

The most common answer on the board.

• Amsterdam— Constitutional capital only; the Dutch government sits in The Hague.
• Athens
• Cairo
• Copenhagen
