It seems the introduction of wrong answers has truly allowed for quizzes, which would've been not challenging enough or too small, to still be featured! 😃

Fun fact: Kentucky and Missouri are the only two bordering states exclusively traversable by ferry.

You can actually walk from Kentucky to Missouri in a few places. The state border follows what was the path of the Mississippi River when the states were established, as with all states on the river. Since then it has constantly changed course, leaving pieces of Kentucky on the west bank of the river directly bordering Missouri.

Apparently typing a bordering state twice gets you whammied.

You can type "kansas" twice...provided you put an "Ar" in front of one of them :-)
