Sweden counties quiz: 21 län, 15 seats to find, and the Väst- names

“Find the place” asks all 21 counties (län) in random order. “Find it from its capital” asks the 15 in the table and greys six whose seat gives them away: Stockholm, Uppsala, Jönköping, Kalmar and Örebro share it, and Gävle is inside Gävleborg. “Choose the capital” asks all 21, with Stockholm as Stockholm’s answer.

  1. “Find the one whose capital is Härnösand” means Västernorrland — not Västerbotten (Umeå) or Västmanland (Västerås): read the whole name before you click.
  2. In “Choose the capital”, Västra Götaland offers Gothenburg, two of its six nearest seats (Jönköping, Halmstad, Linköping, Örebro, Växjö, Karlstad) and Gävle, the only other seat with a G.
  3. Gotland is the island off the east coast; Blekinge, the smallest county on the map, is on the south coast between Skåne and Kalmar.
  4. The end shows your score out of 21 or 15, your time, the counties missed and “Practise the ones I missed”.
County Seat (the question)

Skåne Malmö
Halland Halmstad
Västra Götaland Gothenburg

Seats people miss: Härnösand for Västernorrland, Nyköping for Södermanland, Falun for Dalarna, Visby for Gotland. Sundsvall and Helsingborg are never offered, only the 21 seats are. Names keep å, ä and ö, except Gothenburg (Göteborg).

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the counties by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Which capitals are asked?
Each county’s seat, such as Gothenburg for Västra Götaland and Malmö for Skåne. Seats named like their county, such as Uppsala, are asked in the choose-the-capital quiz only.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Why is Gävleborg not in the find-from-capital quiz?
Its seat, Gävle, is part of its name, so the question would give it away — the same as Stockholm, Uppsala, Jönköping, Kalmar and Örebro, named like their seat. Those six are greyed there; “Choose the capital” asks all 21.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
