Nebraska and Nevada have the same pattern. Can you make those answers work for both hints?

Surely the "y" in Kentucky is a vowel?

Nice quiz, much harder than expected. It would help if you included "y" when it is a vowel -- that's in every case except New York, though people will argue over New Jersey.

Instead of doing the Nebraska/Nevada answers separately, just do them together and have fewer answers. It's frustrating getting to the end of the alphabet and still having a few left over, forcing you to go through again. Also, I definitely agree on Y as a vowel for all states except NY and NJ.

Ha, I thought "10 minutes, that's way too long". But I only got 45/50. Very ingenious.

Really good quiz. One you can do again and again, and I still won't be able to get them all in 10 minutes!

Brilliant quiz :) I managed it with just under 2 minutes to go, so timing was fine. Possibly shows I've been spending too much time on the US states quiz though...

Great quiz. I was going to do it with the world but I doubt it'd be possible in 20 minutes unless I grouped all answers.

why do you have to answer in random order? can't you just go from first to last -- not like they're in alpha order or anything.

I really needed more time. I tried it three times and finally tried a cheat sheet with the names of the states written down and still couldn't find them all within the time (I need about 5 more seconds). I think it takes me a long time because a's start to look like e's after a while. I'm going to keep trying! Fun quiz!

clever quiz, i found it easier to go through the states in order then look for the answer for each, instead of doing it in whatever random order it threw at me

Must include y when it is a vowel, as others have indicated.

Another vote for Y as a vowel. Also a vote for NY being the only case it isn't a vowel.

I typed in Maryland for 'aa' and Kansas popped up instead. That's not supposed to happen?

@MLA I think New York is okay because the y is not being used as a vowel in that situation.

Here's the thing: when I type in Nevada and Nebraska shows up...it's a nice idea, but, no. This shouldn't have made it past contributed.

Five million points for knowing when y is a vowel and when it's a consonant.

Is it ever truly a consonant though? Even in York it just makes a breathy vowel-like sound. You hear the same sound in Iowa.

Got em all...that was rather difficult. For Alaska and Arkansas and Nebraska and Nevada, there should be some way to differentiate the two so one cannot just type in the same state for both.

That Y thing is ridiculous. Even if it's making a vowel sound, it's not technically a vowel. It's a vowel at the end of a word only. Consonants can make vowel sounds. That's not what the quiz is. It's not "Name the state using only its vowel sounds."

"Y" is a vowel only if there are no other vowels in the word. For example, "Maryland" has another vowel, so the "Y" serves as a consonant. It is a vowel in words like "fry". The location of the "Y" doesn't matter. For example, it is a vowel in the word "crypt".

The easiest way to do it is find all the vowels in the state and THEN look for it.
