I'd agree, "U S A" is probably the most commonly used.

BTW: If you have a more appropriate translation for "level" than
"leicht oder schwer", please let me know. I found that the more
exact "Schwierigkeitsgrad" is not in the vocabulary of the
intended audience. But now it sounds "leicht oder schwer eins/zwei/..."
when you move the mouse over the dice at the bottom of the board,
which is also suboptimal.

I could supply a nearly 5 year old daughter :-) But even with
my 7 year old son it took quite some time to record the raw
material for the sound files. I don't think that my daughter
is patient enough to repeat the words several times clearly
and slowly so that I can pick up the most understandable
soundlet.

Cheers, Thomas
