Quiz: Can you spot Latvia's towns that end in "e"?

A new quiz has appeared online, dedicated to testing knowledge of Latvia's populated places. The goal is to find out how well participants know the country's town names that end in the letter "e".

Each question presents two possible answers — both are genuine names of Latvian populated places, but only one of them refers to a town, while the other belongs to a village. The participant's task in every case is to correctly identify and choose the town name rather than the village name.

A small puzzle with place names

Because a number of Latvian place names happen to end in the vowel "e", it is not always immediately obvious whether a given name belongs to a town or a village. This resemblance between town and village names makes the quiz a genuine challenge even for those who consider themselves well versed in the country's geography.

Quizzes of this format are a fairly common way for news portals to invite readers to engage interactively while refreshing their knowledge of Latvia's administrative division and the names of its populated places. The quiz is not tied to any particular event or current affair — it is offered simply as light entertainment and a self-check opportunity for anyone interested in Latvian geography.
