Frequently asked questions

How many states are in the United States map quiz?

The map quiz uses the shared geography data for 50 United States states. It does not include Washington D.C. as a state, because the game scope is the 50 states.

What are useful first anchors for learning the states?

Good first anchors are Washington, Maine, Florida, California, Alaska, and Hawaii. They establish the corners, coasts, and non-contiguous states before learners fill in the interior.

Which United States states are hardest on the map?

Many learners struggle with compact states such as Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Vermont, and New Hampshire and with boxy interior states in the Midwest and Mountain West. Grouping them by region helps.

Should I learn states before capitals?

Yes. State capitals are easier after the map is familiar, especially pairs such as New York-Albany, California-Sacramento, Illinois-Springfield, Florida-Tallahassee, Pennsylvania-Harrisburg, Nevada-Carson City.
