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.
Chimney Rock Villlage, NC does not work.
just tried it and it took.
Cedar Highlands, Utah is no longer incorporated due to a vote by the residents. It is now a CDP again.
Yeah when the next estimates come out from the census I have some city changes to make.
Census-designated PLACES are not places?
Ironically no, I don’t typically include them in my places quizzes. There are a few quizzes that do though.
Got down to 2 in Nebraska (yeah, I used google maps for the last 10% or so, it was still fun to remember some of the small towns I’d driven through, and I won’t be doing that for any other states), and was sure you’d misspelled them. Turns out I wasn’t using the official names, as you were. Only found out after checking wikipedia for the towns. I had even stayed in one town that my college roommate was from, and it was a totally different name than what he used, and what maps show. Oh well.
Whew! 100% on New Jersey after at least 10 tries.
Well, chapeau to those who are able complete any given State(s) without cheating. Fantastic effort.
@waynejoe: You underestimate us. I finally got 100% on New Hampshire towns today. That’s five states that I can name every town in. Next up: New Jersey and Vermont.
Finally! 100% on Maine towns after 5+ tries.
There are 566 municipalities in New Jersey. Sorry – no one can know all 566 of them with the smallest being less than 20 people. I grew up in this state and in 50+ years have traveled all over it but still haven’t been in many of the towns especially in south and west Jersey.
Looking at my state (Idaho) it’s pretty obvious which part I’ve never been to (the far southeast)
What, no Mexica TX?
It’s Mexia (no c)
Started in Houston….finished in Nesbitt. That is one helluva Texas road trip! I have to get some aloe-vera now because my left arm is sunburnt! Too much fun! Great Quiz!
