What is the Name 100 Women challenge?

A viral challenge started in 2024 by Twitch streamer QTCinderella: name 100 notable real women as fast as you can. It spread across Twitch, YouTube and TikTok and became a web game. In 2026 web versions with timers and leaderboards pushed it viral again.

Women must be real and notable (no fictional characters), no repeats, and no looking them up. The clock runs from your first valid name to your hundredth.

How are names checked?

Each name is verified live against a notability source — Wikidata in production. Spelling is forgiving and stage names are accepted.

Who counts as a woman?

Anyone recorded as a woman, including trans women and non-binary people who use she/her — the same inclusive standard the original web versions use.

How do I start playing?

Just start typing — the cursor is already focused, no button to press. Press Enter to submit each name, and the timer starts on your first valid name.

What game modes are available?

Classic mode — where any notable woman counts — is live now. Hard mode (no A-list celebrities) and themed modes for Musicians, Athletes, Scientists, and Historical figures are on the way.
