About this word search

Liechtenstein is one of only two countries in the world that are doubly landlocked, surrounded entirely by other landlocked countries. The other is Uzbekistan. Vatican City, also on this list, is the smallest country in the world.

Several countries here are easy to mix up: Slovakia and Slovenia, Latvia and Lithuania. Placing them correctly on a blank map is a good test for any adult.

Liechtenstein and North Macedonia are the longest, and the eighteen-square grid uses all eight directions. The Y in Cyprus and the X in Luxembourg help as anchors.
