Pennsylvania doesn't quite make it to the shore...:)

I tried Pennsylvania after NY because I was convinced Philly had a coastline. I guess it's just a river estuary, rather like London isn't coastal either. EDIT: I just checked and apparently, the salt line on the Delaware river is considered to be around Wilmington, and as Philadelphia is further upriver, it is not considered a coastal city, and therefore PA is not a coastal state.

It's slightly tricky because it comes extremely close to touching the sea, only blocked by the semi-circular tract of land around Wilmington, Delaware. And if you continue following the Delaware River south from Philadelphia it very quickly widens into the Delaware Bay and then the Atlantic Ocean. The exact spot where the river turns into a bay or inlet is, of course, somewhat arbitrary. But in this case it's understood to not happen on the border of Pennsylvania.

The second column is considerably easier as the states are bigger. The first one is full of small ones where usually it is enough to know "somewhere there" and not the exact order.

Can you specify that it's from north to south, I wasted way too much time trying to figure out why Texas wasn't working as the first answer.

It's written just below the title: "from the Canadian to the Mexican border":)

Nice job adding the order to it to make it more challenging. It was dead easy for me, being an east coaster, but I can imagine it presents a bit of a challenge to those who are not.

I just spent about an hour in Maine (leaving right now) as a side trip from New Hampshire before heading home. With that I have been to every Atlantic state!!

You didn't see the real Maine if you only got 30 minutes deep into before bailing.

It is supposed to be in order, you can't just guess the states because you would get 100% without doing it in the right order. Your comment was a bad call.

Yeah, if people are confused rather than troll it out, mabes just make title clear it up (for us dummies if that makes it easier :)

Hugz!

I grew up in one of these states (a Southern one) and had no idea until today that New Hampshire had a coast. At all. My world just changed.

And a very lovely 12 miles it is! When I lived in Boston, we routinely went up to NH to go to the beach, because frankly, most of our beaches in MA were like Superfund sites ;-)

Nice quiz but user-friendly-wise you might add NORTH to SOUTH in title rather than in second line of description.

Or not. Friendly suggestion.

Cheers!

I think that it would be cool if you added all states, including each part (e.g. have maryland twice). Just a thought!
