    Can you think of countries which do not contain any letter from the word TORNADO?

    I think there are about 4 or 5 of them......
    Knock yourselves out.

    'Niue'... 'Tornado'... I don't think it counts

    Without getting into historic or other language names, etc., the definitive list would appear to be:
    Belgium
    Belize
    Chile
    Fiji
    Seychelles

    Qualifying short forms:
    BiH
    UK

    But also consider:
    Geece
    Hugy
    Icel
    Luxembug
    Philippies

    :pac:

    To do something like this, take a full list of names, put it in a word processor, replace the TORNADO letters using find and replace and see which names the spell checked still recognises.
