Understand the boundary
The Suez Canal Authority identifies the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea as the connected seas. The canal runs across Egypt’s Isthmus of Suez. Access to a much longer ocean shipping route does not make every body of water on that route a canal endpoint.

Choose an answer for your goal
Mediterranean Sea earns 40 fixed points and Red Sea 55. The listed shorter inputs Mediterranean and Red resolve to those same answers. This two-answer question is a boundary drill: first establish the requested body of water, then choose a spelling you know. Neither the score difference nor the shorter input measures what other players will choose.
Worked examples — reveals answers
- Mediterranean · Accepted
- The listed short form of Mediterranean Sea, one of the canal’s two connected seas.
- Red Sea · Accepted
- The other sea named by the Suez Canal Authority.
- Indian Ocean · Outside this set
- An ocean reached on a wider shipping route, rather than one of the two seas directly joined by the canal.
Practice the distinction
Predict whether Indian Ocean answers the exact question before checking it. Then use a sea’s full name and its listed short form. Explain why a valid shipping destination can still fail this endpoint rule.

Give me a hint — no answer revealed
Start with the full category, then apply the exact boundary: Name a sea at either end of the canal, not a lake within it or an ocean reached through another waterway. You only need one qualifying answer. A longer name is not automatically rarer.
