Fewest choices: Alcohol Prohibition × Country Name is 9+ Letters has 3 valid answers in this puzzle. Its answer list includes Saudi Arabia as a match for both clues. Jump to its answers.
Saudi Arabia fits 6 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Alcohol Prohibition × Country Name is 9+ Letters, Alcohol Prohibition × HDI above 0.80, Alcohol Prohibition × Flag Contains Green, Founding UN Member (1945) × Country Name is 9+ Letters, Founding UN Member (1945) × HDI above 0.80, Founding UN Member (1945) × Flag Contains Green.
The lowest score from each cell is added above. These independent choices can repeat a country, so the total may be impossible under the no-repeat rule. For a nine-cell board, 45 points is the theoretical lower bound. See the scoring explanation.
