Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the LARGEST city in each grid square which fits the category label for each square. To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the largest city).
LETTER: means the city starts with that letter.
NUMBER RANGE: (such as 2-5, 10+) means the city contains that many letters (excluding spaces and special characters).
POPULATION RANGE: (such as 50-100K) means the city has that range for its population.
2+ WORDS means the city name has 2 or more words (words denoted by a space or hyphen).
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz as they often have grid squares with only one answer for this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the largest population missed answer will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the largest city will be listed if you didn't answer it.
I found some ‘A’ Places that Cityquiz.io takes that this one doesn’t – i.e Attu Station, AK (though it does technically have a population of 0) and Angola on the Lake, NY (which is accepted separately from Angola NY on cityquiz, and even appears as a separate location on google maps) – also are the NJ and PA Townships (i.e Aberdeen Township and Aston Township) just accepted under Aberdeen and Aston, respectively?
May be good to cross-reference with Cityquiz.io to ensure you didn’t miss any places for other letters as well
Those are CDP’s/hamlets/etc not cities – not on my city quizzes.
Oh I see – So they’re not incorporated? Some I’ve found this one to be missing are quite large – like tens of thousands in population – well, I dunno – your quiz, your rules, I suppose lol
Just trying to help – not that I’m a geographer… just find these quizzes interesting on what one quiz counts as valid that others don’t
Yeah a lot of places actually aren’t ‘cities’ in the sense they aren’t incorporated. This includes townships in most states, towns in most states, etc.
Confusing stuff if you ask me lol. And yet something about discovering place names is almost addicting
On the Y-quiz it shows two cities within the 100-250K range which don’t exist(?)
Yonkers and Yuma. I see them on the map.
Must have blacked-out or something
Did you forget Texarkana, AR for the letter “T”?
Nope – I just tried it and it took.
Weird. I just tried it earlier and only Texarkana, TX showed up.
Weird issue for L i think, everything seems to be doubled on the stats bar. For example, it says 0/100 states completed and the total number of cities for every amount (i.e. 1M+,500K-1M,…) is listed as twice as much as their actually is.
hmm can’t reproduce this – try just reloading the quiz. it’s working fine for me for “L” and other letters.
This whole quiz could be ruined if somebody founds a city called “Alldone.”
Such as if Aldan, PA were to name itself “Alldone, Pennsylvania” as a joke. ^^
On the D quiz, is “Deer Lodge, MT” actually Anaconda-Deer Lodge? If so, that’s sneaky, Darin.
no – Deer Lodge is a separate place, then ‘Anaconda-Deer Lodge’ is under the A’s.
