As for the difficulty, I feel like part of the fun with this quiz is that some states has a lot of cities while others don't have any. It is simply not enough to know all the big ones or all the ones in just one specific area.
Also Aurora is not highlighting but overall great quiz :)
Most sources list it as just Essex.
Can you double-check the location of the dot for Bowie, Maryland? In general, Bowie is basically due west of Annapolis and very close to Washington, not a suburb of Baltimore. Your dot might be correct and it just might be a vagary of dealing with a small state on a map. Thanks
