Writing on 16 July 2026, I’m pretty sure Montana and parts of WY and SD have become isolated. Starting from Rapid City/Box Elder SD and moving northwest to Columbia Falls, MT (Glacier National Park), if you enter these 25 cities/places you will find 25 places are “covered” — that is, there are no more nodes to expand to. In the non-easy 100mi version, these are not isolated; for example Rapid City/Box Elder can link to Chadron NE to the south.
Box Elder, SD
Rapid City, SD
Sturgis, SD
Spearfish, SD
Belle Fourche, SD
Gillette, WY
Sheridan, WY
Powell, WY
Cody, WY
Billings, MT
Laurel, MT
Lewistown, MT
Great Falls, MT
Livingston, MT
Bozeman, MT
Belgrade, MT
Helena, MT
Butte, MT
Anaconda, MT
Missoula, MT
Hamilton, MT
Polson, MT
Kalispell, MT
Whitefish, MT
Columbia Falls, MT
This is in addition to the 5 known “isolated” places, for a total of 30 — which lines up with the current high scores being 5602 / 5632. Thirty missing.
Geting 100% is impossible. Miles City, Havre, Pierre, Page, Elko, and Winnemucca all have no other cities within 100 miles of them. They should be removed from the quiz
+1.
I’m so glad you posted this along with the specific cities. Thought I was going crazy when my go to tiny towns from other quizzes weren’t coming through.
page is possible to get
I think you are missing burns not page. you can get Page via Hurricane and Kanab
Burns isn’t 5K. Page is gettable, but if you look at the top results all are missing 5, which would be Miles City, Havre, Pierre, Elko, and Winnemucca.
It would be nice if this one told you which states you had completed so you knew when to give up on completing one, great quiz!
