North Dakota absolutely and unequivocally does not touch Alberta. You're thinking of Manitoba - hope this helps

Hey I liked the quiz but I think you should make it so you can only answer for a selected question.

None of my crossword quizzes have a yellow box.

It wouldn't be practical as in order to show up on the grid, the grid would need to be a SVG.

You don't need to highlight it on the picture though, just on the clues. Right now, it's 34/50 states and you can basically just guess your way through the quiz.

Really cool quiz, it's just a bit too easy without the highlighter.
