- Your best guess and everything below it
- Name the biggest state and the whole table unlocks at once.
- A smaller answer unlocks itself and everything ranked below it. Guess again to climb.
- Press Enter to lock in a guess. A name that is not on the list costs nothing but time.
- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
For each letter, name the most populous US state that starts with it. The ranking appears when you start, with its figures showing and its names hidden.
About this quiz
All 50 states are counted; the District of Columbia and the territories are not states. The run covers 7 letters and 34 US states: A, C, I, M, N, O, W.
- Each letter has its own 20 second clock, and the table for that letter is shown when the round ends.
- Naming the top entry wins the round at once; anything lower still scores for itself and everything below it.
- Letters with fewer than three US states are left out.
