	Never really noticed before, but amazing how many of the largest cities in the US have seven letters

	Onno:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:37 GMT		34 points
	I can't explain why, but I found this a very interesting quiz.

	Onno - Probably because it wasn't "name every city we can think of and wait for it to light up." Quite a few on here that you just had to know. Good stuff. Could have used one more minute, but, but that's just me.

	Rebel33322:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:42 GMT		3 points
	11...Clever game!

	JohnJF:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:45 GMT		24 points
	I almost missed the city of my birth (St. Louis), and therefore I decree this a fantastic quiz.

	Sonicsgate:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT		21 points
	So close, Spokane! Maybe next year...

	montecarlo:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:50 GMT		4 points
	nice bonus answer (are there more than one?)

	GPB:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:50 GMT		4 points
	Tough quiz. I'm struggling to determine whether or not providing the states in addition to the rank would have been too easy or not. I feel like it wouldn't since I pretzeled my brain running through major cities in each state but I could see how it would make things easier too.

	Kicking222:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:52 GMT		5 points
	Very cool quiz. I'm happy with my 18, though I'm amazed Hialeah is so heavily populated. Excellently done once again, Booger.

	Gordo:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:58 GMT		25 points
	Ft Worth would be a good bonus. I know that the city doesn't refer to itself that way (like St. Louis does), but many others do.

	dtro:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:06 GMT		6 points
	Never would've come up with the bottom 3, but a good quiz nonetheless.

	I like this kind of quiz best because it is almost impossible to cheat, so you know the results are genuine

	Mr_Negative:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT		23 points
	You know you are off to a bad start when your first guess is a bonus answer.

	cmkeller:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:15 GMT		13 points
	@karinaedge: I assume the alternate is "New York City" which would make it eleven letters. Great quiz idea - but this makes me hungry for a seven-letter countries quiz now.

	davidr:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:19 GMT		-3 points
	Good idea for a quiz. Why the cut-off after 23? The last three are so obscure (he said, brushing aside nearly 650,000 people in a few easy words) that stopping after twenty would have made sense.

	kidcanada:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:23 GMT		27 points
	@davidr - it's any city within the top 100 overall. There just happen to be 23 of them with 7 letters.

	bfg1118:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:30 GMT		7 points
	I love the obscure info quizzes like this one. Was a lot of fun...hint: go through the major sports cities, and you can come up with quite a few. :-)

	ajaxhami:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 19:34 GMT		4 points
	I love the quiz. Got nine, but now i feel really dumb. :)

	got 14. surprised not to find jackson or santa fe. what was the bonus answer?

	RyanUR:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 20:28 GMT		13 points
	@Haunter: Being a state capital is no high population guarantee. Check out Montpelier, VT, or Helena, MT.

	montecarlo:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 20:43 GMT		6 points
	the bonus i got was san juan. it wouldve fallen between 33rd and 44th in the population range.

	rcamps:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 20:45 GMT		14 points
	Fun quiz! Perhaps Ft. Worth could be a bonus answer.

	sprclrs_anonymus:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 20:52 GMT		5 points
	nice quiz. thought spokane and/or ft worth would be here though. guess theyre not that populated

	Fort Worth is normally spelled Fort Worth...that's nine letters, and it's population is about 687,000, give or take a few. I live in Texas, and I never see it as Ft. Worth...it's always spelled out. Booger - great quiz! It really made me think! Loved it.

	ArtVandaley:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 21:17 GMT		-3 points
	I used sports cities to get most and was frustrated when toronto did not work. I thought I was spelling it wrong.

	Kicking222:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 21:18 GMT		10 points
	You know, if San Juan is a bonus, so should Bayamón, PR- its 2000 census population was around 224K... just sayin'.

	zalagreensbury:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 21:30 GMT		8 points
	Wow, was someone just sitting around the Sporcle office (one can only wonder what constitutes for the Sporcle headquarters) and was just like 'ever notice how many cities have like 7 letters'. Atleast that's the image my mind's conjuring up that and the addition of Keanu Reeves voice lodged somewhere within. Fascinating quiz...

	American:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 21:47 GMT		3 points
	@karinaedge: it can be reffered to as New York City hence NYC

	Jaspers:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 21:48 GMT		6 points
	N'awlins should also be a bonus answer.

	cocky:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 22:11 GMT		5 points
	I thought of St. Louis but didn't try it becuase i thought it would n't work due to being spelled Saint Louis.

	WadeGarrett:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 22:17 GMT		7 points
	springmom, I live in Texas and I've seen it both ways ... it's definitely spelled out more often than St. Louis is, but it's not uncommon to see signs for "Ft. Worth." See, e.g, http://www.interstate-guide.com/images030/i-030_wt_01.jpg, http://www.interstate-guide.com/images020/i-020_wt_09.jpg, View Larger Map

	Guess I can't even do basic counting in my head. Kept coming up with 8 for Orlando. Guess I should have used my fingers.

	GeoExpert:	Jul 14th, 2009 at 00:01 GMT		5 points
	Pat on the back to Booger for thinking really out of the box. Would I have thought of this? No, never. Maybe Ft. Worth should be on here with an asterisk, just like New York (City) and St. (Saint) Louis.

	GeoExpert:	Jul 14th, 2009 at 00:02 GMT		5 points
	The Title is "7-Letter Cities (U.S.)" So does that mean there is going to be a "7-Letter Cities (World)"
