US Most Common Place Names

Directions

Name all US place names shared by at least 5 cities/towns/etc (the types of places used for my population quizzes..incl villages, townships, etc). The goal is to get the most places, not the most names. Place names are sorted by # of places, then by the population of the largest place with that name, with the state and population shown for that place.

Enter guesses above to begin.

Canada City Random Grid 1st-5th Largest City Challenge

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 10-degree grid, hard is a 5-degree grid. A grid will be placed randomly on the map. Then, try to name the 1st-5th largest city in each square, depending on what the square label displays (so if the label says '3rd Largest' you are trying to name the 3rd largest city in that 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 target city accepted in that square (100 being you named the correct city).

At the end of the quiz the target city will show in each unanswered square.
