Fewest choices: NATO Member × Flag Contains Black has 4 valid answers in this puzzle. Its answer list includes Belgium as a match for both clues. Jump to its answers.
Albania fits 4 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Coastal Mainland Country × Flag Contains Black, Coastal Mainland Country × Name Starts with a Vowel, NATO Member × Flag Contains Black, NATO Member × Name Starts with a Vowel.
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.
