The Daily 20 - Cities

You have 20 hints to get the mystery city. Use 6 or less and get full points!

Click any of the hints and they'll turn green if the answer is yes, red if the answer is no.

Megahints give you even more information than yes/no.

Click on a ? box to guess what letter goes in that specific box.

Answers change... DAILY!

Please don't be a lame-o and spoil the answer every day.
The populations are based on URBAN AREA population, not city proper.
Thank you playtesters!
