What actually differs
- Both flags use the same colours — green, white, red and black — so the difference is in the shades and the shape.
- Kuwait carries black trapezoid; 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
Kuwait: Anchor on the biggest shape: a triangle at the hoist over horizontal bands in green, white, red and black. 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 Kuwait it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
