About this quiz
All 50 states are ranked; the District of Columbia and the territories are not states and are left out. The order uses official estimates for 1 July 2025.
- The state in first place has 39,355,309; the one in tenth has 10,127,884.
- Just outside the ten: New Jersey, 9,548,215.
- The buttons stay in A to Z order, so a button's position is no clue to its rank.
- After the game every button shows its place in the order.
