US City Name Link Challenge

Directions

The object of this quiz is to pick a city to start, then name successive cities such that the next city’s first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You must name cities in the format ‘City, State’ with the state abbreviation following the city.

For example, you start with ‘Chicago, IL’ – you are now trying to name a city starting with ‘O’ (the last letter of ‘Chicago’) which is closest to Chicago. If you answer ‘Oak Park, IL’ – now you are trying to name the closest city to Oak Park which starts with a ‘K’ and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.

I tried to use “Taylor Mill, KY”, but it sent me to Taylor, MI. So I have learned not to use spaces in 2-word city names.

Yikes…. This problem struck again with “Sun, LA” instead of Sunland Park, NM.

This is not a rare occurance. Santa Fe -> EspaƱola -> Angel Fire -> Eaglenest (Eagle, NE?)

How would you input Washington D.C. as a guess. I’ve tried literally everything I can think of. Great quiz by the way.

This one is tough! Seems like the scoring is based on distance past the best option? I’d like to have an easier option where scoring is maybe -1 or -5 per valid city away. So like the 3rd closest city with the proper letter, even if it’s 1000 miles away, would be 85 points. Would also help with towns in the west that are more spaced out
