US Largest City By County – Choose State

Directions

First choose any state by typing its abbreviation (i.e. ‘AZ’), then name the largest city for each county (or county-equivalent) in that state. When you enter a city the county will fill in red. Cities in multiple counties count for each county they are in (using their full population). Some states have counties which are not filled in as they don’t have any cities within them.

Enter state abbreviation to choose state (i.e. 'CA')...

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).
