What actually differs
- Both flags use the same colours — black, white, green and red — so the difference is in the shades and the shape.
- Jordan carries seven-pointed star; Sudan has nothing in the middle.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: green (#007A3D against #007229) and red (#CE1126 against #D21034).
How to keep them straight
Jordan: Anchor on the biggest shape: a triangle at the hoist over horizontal bands in black, white, green and red. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
Sudan: Anchor on the biggest shape: a triangle at the hoist over horizontal bands in red, white, black and green. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Jordan it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
