Name 100 US States — Well, All 50 of Them
There are only fifty, and you've known them since grade school. That's exactly why the name 100 US states challenge stings: minute eight, forty-seven down, and one invisible state refuses to exist. It's always Nebraska. Or is it Delaware?
Every answer is validated against the full 50-state list — no territories, no DC, no Canadian provinces sneaking in. Postal abbreviations count, so CA matches California. But 'New England' is a region, not a state, and Dakota needs a direction.
The reliable strategy is a geographic sweep: coast to coast, border to border, then the loners — Alaska, Hawaii, and that one rectangular state you definitely didn't forget. The name 100 US states quiz (target: all 50) is the purest memory test on this site.

FAQ
Are DC or Puerto Rico accepted?
No — this list is the 50 states only. Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the territories sit this one out.
Do abbreviations count?
Yes. Two-letter postal codes work, so TX, NY, and CA all score. Full names always work too.
Why do I always miss one state?
Psychologists call it a retrieval failure; players call it Nebraska Syndrome. Small, central, and quiet states — Nebraska, Delaware, Rhode Island, West Virginia — top the forgotten charts.
