	There's a Norfolk, Nebraska that also creates a word - "lane". If "gaga" works, so should that.

	Fun quiz. Quizzes like this are good because you have to do 2 things to get the answer right, as opposed to just answering trivia questions

	as written the last one forms two words, not "a word"

	Yeah, but nobody's ever heard of Norfolk, NE. If he had to think of every single backwater town, he'd still be making the quiz.

	Norfolk NE's not very much smaller than Grand Island NE, which is another small town on the quiz.

	that was really fun . . . especially being in the dark till the last letter went in, then seeing the word form. Particularly with "Irvine, Baton Rouge, Worcester, Providence"

	Hey, I live in Salinas. I wonder why of all the places in CA you chose this one. Thanks for putting us on the Sporcle map.

	Whoever makes these quizzes... they're a genius.

	That was really fun and interesting! I'd love to see more like this!

	Fun idea! I thought it'd be a piece of cake starting out, but I liked that it got more challenging.

	estivator:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 10:42 GMT	5 points
	NICE!

	wanderbygrace:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 10:47 GMT	6 points

	I have to agree about the time. It's not a gripe about being 'America-centric', but it would take non-residents longer to figure out the abbreviations. Great quiz though, a real thinker.

	You know, at first, I thought I would hate this quiz- "It's going to be so easy!" my silly brain thought to itself- and then I realized that LTH made it, so it's impossible that the quiz could be bad. And then I took it, and though it was still simple for me (I know state abbreviations and I like word games, so it was up my alley), I really appreciated the quiz. It was a fun idea and a damn fine effort, though of course, I would expect nothing less from its creator.

	Time is perfect, and I like that cities that could be found in multiple states are used. Adds to the challenge of finding the right combination.

	On the one hand, I made this first. On the other hand, your version is better. Athens, Atlanta.

	Great quiz, but I noticed an error on the results page... it showed that I got modems but not calamari when it should have been the other way around.

	hmmm, ostroffj did think of this first. If anyone would like to play his/her version here it is: http://www.sporcle.com/games/ostroffj/state_abbreviation_words
