My way to remember how to write Massachusetts correctly:

Alternate single and double consonants starting from the sides:

M------------S

--SS------TT-

-----CH-S----

Massachusetts

Level 55

Aug 30, 2012

It's usually the time that gets me in these US State quiz as it's harder to recollect (despite knowing them all) when you're not American. This one was a cinch though- 2'26" remaining.

+31

Level 35

Level 44

Mar 5, 2013

50/50, 2:26 left

Level 90

Mar 27, 2013

Should edit the quiz to include the territories (Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.) just to trip up those using the Fifty Nifty or 50 states that rhyme songs...

Level 56

Jan 29, 2022

How mean

Level 19

Level 84

Jul 24, 2017

As a Cincinnati Bengals fan, I wish I could say the same. :-(

Level 51

Sep 22, 2013

Got it with 3:12 to go. I learned the states in alphabetical order by song in 2nd grade and to this day it's how I still remember the states and their names. I just sing the song to myself. :)

Level 56

Jan 29, 2022

I learned it in 4th

Level 31

Nov 7, 2013

0:43 remaining. Would be more embarrassing if I was American. I completely forgot about all the "New" states and couldn't figure out why there were so many Ns!

Level 38

Nov 17, 2013

Fifty nifty

Level 68

May 13, 2014

I just know them in order already because I'm sad like that, I don't even live in America.

Level 78

May 20, 2014

Forgot one M and one N. Find those harder as there's so many of them. And no, I am not American either.

Level 53

Oct 25, 2014

Level 53

Level 65

May 7, 2015

Did anyone else use that song to help remembee the states in alphabetical order?

Level 66

Aug 11, 2019

noone, ow wait, besides the two dozen that allready commented that they did (actually 9/10 of the comments preceeding yours is about the song)

Unless your comment was meant to be sarcastic, in that case, well played.

Level 44

May 7, 2015

I was surprised we were given a first letter. I'm Canadian and could do this quite easily. Can someone do an alphabetical state capitals one with no hints? I'd like to try that...

Level 46

May 7, 2015

All 50 with 3:37 left!

Level 78

May 7, 2015

Just 0:49 left, at least this one had plenty of time. Funny how easy it's to completely blank on some.

Level 83

May 7, 2015

50/50. Not American, but a song did help me (it wasn't Fifty Nifty though, it was Go Pato).

Level 63

May 12, 2015

Way harder than I thought it would be!

Level 53

May 13, 2015

35/50.. as a Brit I'm happy with that!

Level 45

Jun 27, 2016

Level 71

Nov 14, 2016

I know all the US States on the map of USA, I can name them all in relation to their position to each other, yet when it came to alphabetical I didn't have enough time to finish, trying to work out the alphabetical order especially in the M's and the N's, only got 1 point for my trouble.

Got them all! 22 sec to spare

I'm all south american and have answered every single US geography quiz

Level 71

Jan 15, 2017

'New' Mexico? Fascinating

Level 76

Aug 29, 2017

When I was young many older people referred to the country as "Old Mexico". I'm guessing that started when New Mexico became a state. I said something to my grandmother once about Mexico and she asked, "Which one, new or old?"

Level 68

Feb 20, 2017

Level 42

Aug 6, 2019

When did they come up with this fifty-nifty song? I never heard of it. My son, who is 18, says he never heard of it either.

It’s funny, but I grew up in New Jersey, and I don’t have any recollection of having to memorize all the states. I do remember though, very clearly, having to memorize all the counties in New Jersey! 😅

Level 63

Aug 15, 2019

Can you accept New vada and New braska? 🤪

Level 38

Sep 23, 2019

Can you accept Tonga for texas

Fifty nifty

Level 59

Sep 9, 2020

I was thinking about the state capitals quiz to this

Level 77

Sep 16, 2020

Here before the District of Columbia becomes a state! 😉😏

Level 28

Jun 22, 2021

It won’t because it’s the Capital of the United States Puerto Rico is more likely to become a state!

Level 60

Jul 28, 2021

Well, Uncle Joe has a little weird grasp on reality, so it actually really seems more likely that DC will become the 51 at the moment. Or at least, I haven't heard him speaking about how the Puertoricans deserve a representation.

Level 64

Oct 4, 2020

Anyone beat 3:50?

Level 57

Oct 12, 2020

at my elementary school we never learned the song but I still aced this quiz somehow

Level 58

Feb 2, 2021

that was fun! I felt so panicky - thought I'd run out of time, but I did ok - still had 1:42 left. Whew.

Level 55

I forgot Idaho And Maine somehow!!

Level 55

Aug 28, 2021

I almost forgot Utah. I live in Utah

Level 37

Sep 5, 2022

I am ashamed. I hate timed quizzes but thought I'd give it a try. I came to U and thought "there are no states beginning with U!" Guys... I also LIVE in UTAH.

Level 46

Apr 27, 2023

I live in Utah and I used to live in Texas, just moving down the list lmao

Level 67

Nov 21, 2021

I chose to leave the Ms and Ns till last for obvious reasons. Not being American didn't help.

Level 56

Jan 29, 2022

I had to learn a song about the states in alphabetical order so this was pretty easy. 3:26 first try :D

Level 57

Mar 15, 2022

Finished with 5minutes 30 left

Level 40

May 19, 2022

If you don't skip it's ten times harder

Level 72

Dec 7, 2022

Pretty strong evidence that Wisconsin is the most forgettable state. Too bad. I rather like it.

Level 69

Jan 10, 2023

Go Pack Go! Well, maybe next year....

Level 46

Apr 27, 2023

I find Arkansas is the most forgettable state. I don't even notice it when I look at the map.

Level 59

May 1, 2023

No, it’s definitely either Delaware or South Carolina.

Level 51

Jan 3, 2023

I don't understand why everyone comments how much time was left when they finished!.? It says my actual time for me (1:15)

Level 46

Apr 27, 2023

48/50, missed Massachusetts and Missouri (because I didn't think of them, not cause I couldn't spell them)

Level 53

Apr 28, 2023

44/50, sorry but the time limit is stupidly short. Needs at least another minute.

Level 64

May 1, 2023

36 seconds remaining

Level 33

May 1, 2023

Pretty easy if you know the song :)

Level 20

May 1, 2023

This quiz was easy not bragging the time limit is perfectly fine if you know states and the alphabet unlike RJG he so dumb he doesn't know the alphabet

Level 21

May 1, 2023

Fifty nifty is the only reason I got this haha

Level 28

May 1, 2023

Fifty Nifty United States from 13 original colonies. Shout 'em, shout 'em, tell all about 'em, one by one 'till we've given a day to every state, in the U.S.A.....

Level 59

May 2, 2023

Well, I got them all with 33 seconds remaining... and I have NEVER learned a song for this! Haha kinda proud of myself (for those who did learn the song, congrats on finding the one place you'll ever need to know the states in alphabetical order instead of by where they are 😉 😄 ).
