Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. The grid will be randomly placed on the map. Then, try to name the largest cities in each square IN ORDER. 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).
The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.
Quiz Takers 
HOlland Michigan shows up as both the 42 and the 49th largest city. How is that?
One is the charter township.
There’s a city in Arizona just under 100,000, but when the quiz ends it doesn’t show up in the list of missed cities.
It’s a city that only just recently incorporated. Pretty much all the new additions to the top 50 in states appear to show their populations as the percentage correct at the end of the quiz and likely don’t show up in the list of missed cities.
Can you please update the populations to the 2025 estimates? I’m tired of seeing Salem, OR be bigger than Eugene, OR, because it’s not.
It is current, Salem is bigger based on 2025 estimates:

This would be fun to play with a map version. Where you type in a name and the colored markers show up. Either way, I love it.
You can do it on a map by state:

ridiculous, love it
I literally have no idea how it’s possible to even type, much less KNOW even half of these. I mean half the towns on the Alaska list are villages with less than a thousand people. There’s Just. no. way.
i refuse to believe that 16 people have gotten every single city correct
Right? I mean there’s just no way someone would off the top of their head know the fifty largest cities in every state.
Need more time! I was typing the whole time but couldn’t reach 500 fast enough to get a time bonus
I’ve added some – there are some good time bonuses for the Population and Rank By State categories at right too.
