Level 54

Nov 19, 2017

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.

Level 16

Dec 6, 2017

I kept trying to do countries like Libya, Russia, and the United Kingdom, and was very confused when it didn't work.

Level 67

Dec 22, 2017

38 first time and I typed all the norths and souths and massachusetts. fun quiz.

Level 52

Feb 14, 2018

Please accept typos.

Level 32

Feb 18, 2018

My state was chosen 2nd least :0

I can't type real fast without constantly tripping up so I only got 26

Level 50

Mar 10, 2018

I got 50 and I'm just a one week old fetus.

Level 65

Mar 23, 2018

I got them all, and I'm only my grandmother's egg.

Level 31

Mar 12, 2018

i got 61 and i died three weeks ago

Level 65

Mar 23, 2018

It took me so many times, but after hours of practice I finally got all 50. What a waste of time.

Level 54

Apr 13, 2018

60%... I make too many typos :(

Level 16

Apr 30, 2018

I kept trying to get some bragging rights but I got 21 3 times in a row. And even with that number I still cant drink

Level 24

May 5, 2018

It's "only" 57 WPM, yet it's so hard. xD

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.

Level 4

May 30, 2018

I did awful on this one type too slow

Level 60

Jun 21, 2018

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!

Level 55

Jul 9, 2018

26, thanks a lot typos

Level 9

Jul 15, 2018

You'd think that memorizing them in alphabetical order would help, but nope

Level 5

Jul 24, 2018

Finished 50/50 with 0:03 remaining. No cheating.

Level 52

Aug 9, 2018

Not of fan of these. Granted, you have to know your states, but this is a speed typing test, not a knowledge test. Just my opinion...

Level 50

Aug 9, 2018

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).

Level 67

Aug 11, 2018

Just can't seem to get past 37

Level 64

Oct 1, 2018

Beat it with 2:00 remaning

Nov 26, 2018

I'd like to pat myself on the back for getting all 50 with 4 seconds left, meaning I typed them all in 56 seconds.

Level 67

Dec 19, 2018

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

Level 22

Dec 21, 2018

Got all 50 of them. Not to brag.

Level 49

Jan 8, 2019

8 seconds left is my highest, and I'm 12.

Level 49

Jan 11, 2019

14 seconds left this time! I'm only 13!

Level 37

Jan 15, 2019

I can only get 27

Level 48

Jan 25, 2019

Well 37 beats 97% of people so that's good enough I guess

Level 45

Feb 15, 2019

all with .3 seconds to spare first try! not bad for a third grader.

Level 35

Mar 24, 2019

You got all of them? I only got 18 and i'm in 6th grade. You should be very proud of yourself.

Level 54

Feb 15, 2019

I got all of them with 4 seconds left, but I was using a really good keyboard, plus it was like my 170th time taking this quiz. ;)

Level 54

Feb 21, 2019

I got all 50 with 5 seconds left but it took me a lot of practice. Lots of fun

Level 40

Mar 3, 2019

30/50 - I'll keep trying. Easier if you look at the answers you've already typed in rather than the map

Level 46

Mar 8, 2019

Tried! At least I got 32/50. (: Usually a pretty fast typer, but, not today. (:

Level 66

Mar 11, 2019

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.

Level 20

May 2, 2019

50/50 with 0:57 left

Level 38

Sep 25, 2019

Didn't get New York.

Level 47

Sep 27, 2019

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).

Level 20

Oct 22, 2019

50 seconds for Pennsylvania, 10 seconds for the rest

Level 28

Nov 6, 2019

As a Mexican I got 23

Level 75

Nov 8, 2019

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"

Level 56

Mar 12, 2020

Finally after hundreds of times, I did it.

Level 55

Mar 31, 2020

Level 77

Apr 14, 2020

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...

Level 57

Apr 21, 2020

1 sec left, 50th try, copy by ctrl+c some hard-to-type state, like Massachusetts and just press ctrl+v and you have +1 free state

Level 53

Apr 23, 2020

Level 34

Apr 24, 2020

it took me like, 30 tries and now my wrist hurt but I GOT IT with 5 secs left

Level 37

May 21, 2020

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

Level 49

Jun 9, 2020

Man this is fast. I have to type faster than Kal hitting the 'reply' button when he reads the comments section.

Level 55

Jun 15, 2020

Lol.

Level 45

Level 66

Oct 5, 2020

monkey brain: hehe minnesota

Level 69

Dec 4, 2020

At least you monkey brain goes Minnesota. Mine goes Massachusetts.

Level 49

Oct 31, 2020

I always forget Nebraska and Minnesota!

Level 75

Nov 14, 2020

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.

Level 36

Nov 18, 2020

Took me 52 seconds, very tough overall

Level 62

Nov 18, 2020

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.

Level 70

Dec 4, 2020

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

Level 75

Dec 4, 2020

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).

Level 40

Dec 4, 2020

Darn it! I got 48 after half an hour of typing.

Level 56

Dec 4, 2020

I got 39 on first try, there's no way I'm getting all of them

Level 65

Dec 5, 2020

I can verbally say all the states in 16 seconds but typing the best I've done is 43 in one minute.

Level 53

Dec 11, 2020

41/50

Level 25

Dec 27, 2020

Done in 47 seconds: https://youtu.be/XhskobX-NQY

Level 2

Dec 30, 2020

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.

Level 45

Jan 17, 2021

Level 69

Mar 20, 2021

I'm sad that I got 22 more in one minute in the countries of the world 1 minute sprint quiz and I have lived in US my entire life.

Level 46

Apr 5, 2021

I finally got them all with 0:01 remaining, I typed Hawaii so fast!

Level 55

Apr 8, 2021

I can type fast enough but I can't think fast enough

Level 28

Apr 11, 2021

Same lol

Level 57

Apr 9, 2021

I thought "shortest states" and instantly put Louisiana and Mississippi.

Level 28

Apr 11, 2021

I managed to guess them all second try. Wanna know my secret? Anyone can do it.

See the square button when you press the start quiz button? Press that, then you get the quiz untimed.

Easy quiz, ngl.

Level 57

Apr 12, 2021

Yeah but that doesn't get you points or the satisfaction of doing it.

Level 16

Apr 27, 2021

Level 28

Jun 15, 2021

I TRY TO GET 30 but during my 3 tries 27,29,28

Level 51

Jun 30, 2021

38 is the max i could reach......

There should be a 1.5 minute version somewhere

Level 41

Jul 16, 2021

If I got 67 in countries of the world in one minute, there is a chance I get all 50.

Level 51

Jul 28, 2021

I got to 44. If I only had 10 sec more!!!

Level 49

Dec 22, 2021

oh my god I FINALLY got enough for the badge

Level 53

Dec 23, 2021

Finally after so long I finished all 50 with 1s left. My best on the regular quiz is 58s so I really had to push it.

Jan 21, 2022

Finally did it after getting 46/50 like 5 times in a row yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Level 86

Feb 4, 2022

I don't think there's anything harder than spelling Massachusetts and Connecticut while in a time crunch

Level 55

Feb 23, 2022

And Mississippi.

Level 26

Feb 25, 2022

how about mississippi?

Level 57

Level 44

Mar 1, 2022

I keep doing Missouri bruh

Level 32

Mar 20, 2022

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.

Level 66

Mar 30, 2022

I have been knocking off my goals slowly over the past few months.

30, 35, 40, today finally hit 41! Next up 42!

Level 40

Apr 14, 2022

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.

Level 36

Apr 19, 2022

I have taken this test too many times to count and keep getting 49! I cannot for the life of me type Connecticut out in time.

Level 56

May 2, 2022

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.

Level 56

May 2, 2022

got them all with six seconds left! helps if you go in alphabetical order

Level 24

May 3, 2022

i got 50 first try but these comments are making me feel like i cheated lol

Level 22

May 5, 2022

Got 49/50 my third try. I was so close to 50 but I only got "South Carol" in before my time ran out. Sad

Level 47

May 10, 2022

I really should be doing my actual U.S. History homework instead of this, but I'm so close! 48/50!

Level 29

May 20, 2022

49 first try 😢

Level 65

Jul 30, 2022

😃😐😐

Level 85

Jun 27, 2022

Finally...

Did it in 53 seconds

Level 27

Jul 20, 2022

Imagine this, but all 196 countries in one minute.

Level 27

Jul 20, 2022

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.

Level 75

Aug 5, 2022

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.

Level 56

Nov 5, 2022

NYC also works for New York for some reason.

Level 59

Jan 4, 2023

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

Level 65

Jul 30, 2022

Got 34/50 like most others

Level 55

Sep 3, 2022

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.

Level 31

Sep 5, 2022

you can also type "mississippi" as "misisipi"

Level 59

Sep 28, 2022

after 110 tries i finally achieved 50/50

Level 34

Oct 25, 2022

My heart is in my throat, I had severely messed up north carolina, but luckily finished with 7 seconds left!

Level 94

Mar 16, 2023

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!!

Level 25
