Good quiz, but please change the title so that it's not all capital letters.

Ok good quiz but the state abbrievations are completely random. Some are full like texas and others are two letters. Why not just make them all their real abbreviations?

@hooverman166, they're the AP abbreviations.

@JadeHarp and @hooverman166: Allow me to be the AP nerd (I'm a newspaper reporter). Those are, in fact, the abbreviations used in AP datelines. However, AP style mandates that many of the cities on this quiz stand alone, meaning they do not get an abbreviation.

@JadeHarp and ClintT13: thanks for the information. I had thought that they were the abbreviations used by the Post Office prior to the introduction of ZIP codes and two-letter abbreviations (and therefore were almost half a century outdated).

The AP abbreviations are the same as the pre-ZIP code post office abbreviations, I believe.

I'd suggest showing the third column to help people guess. I also suggest using the census instead of wikipedia. Otherwise, great quiz.

Surprised to learn that the Oklahoma City is bigger than both Jersey City and Kansas City. And I know I learn this again every quiz, but I still think of Pittsburgh as bigger than Fort Worth.

@RobtheHob: Older Eastern cities lack room and impetus to grow whereas many Western municipalities like OKC and Ft Worth are not hemmed in by suburbs and are booming ecomomically.

@chriskotx ...and, of course, Sun Belt city boundaries are usually much bigger by area and have a higher portion of the metro area directly within the city proper. Otherwise the Pittsburgh metro area is still bigger.

@RussianPro: your comment provoked me to research. Surprisingly, Fort Worth is more populous than Pittsburgh now even beyond the city. Tarrant County is 500k larger than Allegheny County. Since Fort Worth is part of the DFW area, its official metro is definitely bigger. But if you make a metro of only Tarrant and its surrounding counties (minus Dallas County)even that population is still greater than Pittsburgh's metro.

Isn't it New York City and not New York, NY?

No, its official name is New York. People call it New York City to distinguish it from New York State.

I think you should make it so that "Fort Worth" is acceptable. When I didn't accept it for me, I just tried "Ft Worth" because I couldn't think of another one and I was actually surprised that it took that considering that it is spelled out in the quiz.

The official U.S. Government spelling is Hawaii. I realize the Hawaiian language adds the mark, but don't start going all Myanmar on us here.

I guess you can be forgiven for putting New York City under "k" (the official name is "the City of New York," so that trumps the more common "New York City"), but Los Angeles should be under "a," since its full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles del Río de Porciúncula."

That's ridiculous. The official name of almost every city is "the City of __________." I live in Alexandria, which is "the City of Alexandria." Does that mean I would be "forgiven" for saying it ends in "A?" No, I'm just right. I'm with you on LA though, though going there would cause some trouble for Rhode Island in some of the other quizzes.

Shouldn't New York be under "Y" because the actual name is New York City.
