An alphabet run through the world's garages: 100 face-down brand cards sorted A to Z, and all you need is ONE brand per letter. Type any car brand starting with the current letter and every brand of that letter flips over — name Lada and you also uncover Lamborghini, Lancia, Land Rover, and the rest of the Ls.

The set is the 100 biggest and best-known car brands: the global sales giants, the luxury and supercar icons, and the fast-rising EV marques. That's the whole point of the reveal — each letter you clear shows you which of the world's top brands you got for free.

How to play

• The pulsing chip in the letter bar is your current letter — type any qualifying brand and matching runs on every keystroke, no Enter needed.
• One correct brand flips its entire letter, then the walk moves to the next letter. Letters with no brand in the top 100 (like Q) skip automatically.
• Common shorthands count: "VW", "Chevy", "Merc", and "Lambo" all work, and accents are optional — "Citroen" and "Skoda" are fine.
• Your score is letters cleared, not brands flipped — 25 letters have at least one brand.
• The timer starts on your first keystroke; Give Up reveals every brand, and progress autosaves as you go.

What counts in this quiz

• The 100 biggest & best-known car brands, each revealed with its logo and country of origin.
• Cards are alphabetical, so each letter's brands sit together and flip as one block — from six A-brands down to single-brand letters like X, Y, and Z.
• Both current giants and beloved defunct marques (Saab, Holden) make the cut, plus the new EV wave — BYD, Rivian, Zeekr, VinFast, and friends.

What's not included — and why

• Only the top 100 — niche, defunct, or regional marques outside it (think Datsun, Pontiac, or Zenvo) aren't answers, so don't burn time on deep cuts.
• Q is the one letter with no brand at all — it skips itself, and you can't lose points to it.
• Model names don't count: this is a brand quiz, so "Mustang" solves nothing while "Ford" clears all of F.

Good to know

• Almost a third of the letter L is luxury: Lamborghini, Lexus, Lincoln, Lotus, and Lucid all share it with humble Lada.
• Wuling's Hongguang Mini EV was at one point the best-selling electric car on Earth — a $5,000 city box that outsold Teslas in China.
• Yangwang's U8 SUV can do a "tank turn", spinning in place with its four motors — and BYD, its parent, began as a phone-battery maker.
• The newest letters are the EV ones: X, Y, and Z are all covered by brands founded after 2014 (XPeng, Yangwang, Zeekr).
