Shortcuts and tips in alphabetical presentation:

1. Connecticut (spell it with 'connect' and 'icut' in mind)

2. Illinois - ilinois

3. Louisiana - luisiana

4. Minnesota - minesota

5. Mississippi - misisipi

6. Missouri - misuri

7. New Hampshire - nh

8. New Jersey - nj

9. Pennsylvania - pensylvania

10. Tennesee - tenesee

Finally, it will help to practice alphabetically. A systematic attack aids muscle memory.

Please do not ACTUALLY omit letters from state names for the sole purpose of doing well on this quiz. NH and NJ are helpful, though, but weird that they are accepted at all.

That is because an official JetPunk type in for New York (city), is NYC, and the city shares the same name with the state.

It's definitely possible to get all 50. It is really, really helpful to know the states in alphabetical order prior to taking the quiz, which I did. There are several U.S. state songs (the one I used was called "Fifty States that Rhyme") on YouTube. If you listen to one of them and get it stuck in your head, it makes the quiz much easier to complete in a specific, fixed order. It took me a while to get past 44 states, but I finally got all 50. Using some of the U.S. state type-ins can definitely be a massive time saver -- NH for New Hampshire and NJ for New Jersey. You can also - albeit sneakily -- type NYC to fill in New York, as this is a standard type-in on JetPunk quizzes.

John Denver wrote a nice song about WV...I've driven through it, pretty state, wondered about so many 'Byrd' named highways, rest areas. I think he was pretty good at getting federal funds to help through the declining coal industry. Plus good music comes out of Appalachia!

I've tried this quizz a few times, and my best score is 33/50 states. I did not know that the quiz accepted abreviations for some states.

My main issue is that I tend to spell incorrectly. So I lose the time of typing the worng word, checking where the mistake was, and then having to delete the word and retype.

I wonder if I can do the quizz, with no spelling mistakesm and using the State's full names, under one minute?

For example, I finished this quiz with 20 seconds to spare, but that's because I'm a geography and a typing nerd (130 average on Nitro Type)

Finally got it after 72 complete attempts and many many more incomplete ones. As a tip, these are all the type-ins that save characters: conneticut ilinos loisiana masachusets minesota misisipi misuri nh nj nyc pensylvania roadisland tenesee.

nyc should probably not be a type-in for New York state, but abuse it while you can.

Finally did it with 4 seconds left!!

The trick is to learn sequences instead of individual states.

Like, I don't even see Washington or Oregon, the west coast is just one big state called "washingtonoregoncalifornianevada"

Then you have "Idahomontanawyomingutaharizona"

The whole texas region is "texasnewmexicolouisianaoklahoma"
