Pick a difficulty and question count to begin.
Mountain ranges often carry nicknames rooted in language, history, and geography—this quiz trains you to recognize those links quickly.
Each question gives 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on meaning, origin, and regional context instead of speed.
Difficulty is balanced by mixing well-known ranges with lesser-known regional nicknames, so you’ll get confidence-builders alongside tougher curveballs.
