I did them in alphabetical order and I had Montana (26) with 33 seconds left and I was like alright this isn't so hard but then I made a typo on Massachusetts and that took, like, multiple seconds, and I almost didn't win but I got Wyoming entered with literally one second left and my heart is racing guys.
According to my stats, I have taken this test literally 92 times over the past 5 years... and today I FINALLY got all 50!!! With three seconds to spare!!! Woohoo!
It is a speed test, but there is another quiz where you name the states, but with more time, so I think this one is good for those who enjoy the challenge (like me).
Helpful tip: Start with Washington. You can type the "was" with your left hand as you press start with your right. Then move your hand over as you are typing, and go NW->SW->MW->SE->NE
I had to restart the quiz a couple times because I have this bad tendency to accidentally miss the G in Washington when I try to type it quickly. Best score I've managed so far is 47/50, leaving the "direction" states (North/South Dakota/Carolina, West Virginia) til last.
The first time I tried this I got 40 of them. Continued trying it and my score only went down lol, I got 37 the next try then only 33 on my third try. This quiz is all mental(and typing speed obviously).
I did the alphabetically and got 38 on my first and second tries. Rhode Island messed me up both times. If you make any typos, you are pretty much screwed. I ended up typing "soudh thakota"
Got it on my try with 8 seconds left... phew! I thought I would make it with 16 seconds and 5 states left, but those included Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island... yikes...
Quizmaster, Can you please make the 1 minute a bit easier. Words like North Dakota, South Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Rhode Island. These states take a bit long to spell. Try to make it like N. Dakota or S. Dakota or Rhode I. Thanks, UltraEl1te
I recommend copying "northcarolina" and pasting it in immediately. Also you can use type-ins "ilinois", "massachusets", "minesota", "misisipi", "misuri", "pensylvania", "tenesee". I was able to get 100% with 1 second left with some typos using this method.
Finally!!! After 50 tries I got 50/50 with 2 seconds remaining! I typed all the full names and had Rhode Island copied (I always jumble up that spelling when I am going fast), and then my strategy was to copy Rhode Island the millisecond the timer started and then start on the west coast with Washington and then get the west coast and wind through the Midwest, move on to the South, work my way through the Mid-Atlantic, and finish off in New England.
i had a good roll going on and managed to get 46/50, if i didn't stumble on West Virginia i coulda gotten 48. i also forgot Hawaii tryna get all the continental ones
I've tried this quiz probably 50+ times in the last two years (I always take it when I see it). Today is my first time taking it while I was at work...and I got it with four seconds to spare! Maybe I did so well because I was stressed my boss would see me doing nerd things when I was supposed to be working (hahah).
J'ai tapé Californie, Floride et cela n'a pas fonctionné.... la moitié des noms des états que j'ai tapés (sans faute, j'ai vérifié) n'a pas été validée.
I don't know why, but randomly I put Rhode Island. I had like two seconds left and my brain could only think "Hey, Rhode Island sound like the shortest and best state to do!" I mean seriously dude I still had Iowa left and I put gosh darn Rhode Island? The human brain can be wacky sometimes. Anyways, to whomever is reading this have a fantastic rest of your day, or go to bed as soon as you can.
I've made a system that allows me to get 37 states. Omitted Mississippi, Conneticut, North and South Dakota, North and South Carolina, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Hampshire, pennsylvania, West Virginia, Massechusetts. Focusing on every other state. Might add New Jersey, Mississippi, and New Hampshire to get an even 40.
how are any of these people in the comments going to expect anyone to believe them when they say they typed 50 letter combinations with about 500 characters total in less than 10 seconds.
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.
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.
Looks like the threshold for 5 points has gone up. Somehow I was able to get 38, which seems to meet that requirement. Please don't let it need to be more than that in the future!!
I can't type real fast without constantly tripping up so I only got 26
First try I got 38, second I got 44. I mean, I did this quiz before, but I decided to try again and this is what I got.
Phew!
monkey brain: hehe minnesota
See the square button when you press the start quiz button? Press that, then you get the quiz untimed.
Easy quiz, ngl.
There should be a 1.5 minute version somewhere
30, 35, 40, today finally hit 41! Next up 42!
Did it in 53 seconds
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.
