How this quiz works

This quiz asks for the 50 US states, once each, in random order. The District of Columbia is drawn on the map as plain land but is not asked. Choose a mode before you start.

In Find it on the map, the page names a state and you click or tap its shape. A right answer fills the shape at once. A wrong click marks that state, and after three wrong tries the right shape is shown and counted as missed. The smallest states of the north east each have a round marker that you can use in place of the shape.

In Name the highlighted one, a single state is lit on the map and you pick its name from four choices with the keys 1 to 4, or type it. This mode can be played from the keyboard alone.

Alaska and Hawaii are drawn in the lower left, as on most national maps. At the end you see your score, your time and what you missed, and you can replay only those. The best result for each mode is kept in your browser on this device.

Questions

Is the District of Columbia asked?

No. It is drawn on the map as plain land, but only the 50 states are asked.

What counts as a wrong try?

Clicking any state other than the one named. The state turns red and cannot be tried again for that question. The third wrong try ends the question as missed and shows the right state.

Why do some states have a round marker?

Rhode Island, Delaware and a few other small states are hard to tap on a phone. Each gets a round marker, and tapping the marker counts as tapping the state.
