US States Area Sorting Challenge

Directions

You begin with two states shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the states in order from largest to smallest by total area. The order is represented by the ‘1st’ thru ’16th’ in each box. You can click on a state to move it to a higher position in the list – simply click once and it will turn red, then clicked another higher-ranked state to position the first state before it. Click submit to check your answers…if they are in order you will get a new state added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.
