Is Washington, D.C. included?

Yes — it has a small circle you can click, as do the smallest states.

A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.

Can I practise the state capitals?

Yes. “Find it from its capital” names 48 capitals and you click the state (Indianapolis, Oklahoma City and Washington, D.C. are left out, as their names give the answer away); “Choose the capital” highlights each state and offers four capitals to pick from (D.C. is not asked there).

Is the order the same every time?

No: each round shuffles all the places again, so Start and Play again give a new order. The score counts only the places found at the first try.

Do I need an account?

No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.

Example

One round of the US states quiz: 51 places, scored at the first try

A fifth grader in Ohio practises for a states test. In “Find the place” all 50 states and Washington, D.C. (a small circle to click) are asked once each, in a new random order every round; Alaska and Hawaii are in boxes bottom left. The clock starts with the first question.

A right click turns the state green with its name on it; a wrong one flashes the state you clicked in red with its name, so you learn that one too.
The third miss on the same question shows the answer blinking in orange and counts it as missed; in “Choose the capital” the second wrong pick shows it.
Skip sends a question to the end of the round. Zoom in with the buttons, Ctrl + scroll or two fingers for Rhode Island, Delaware and the other small eastern states.
In capital mode the usual traps are Columbia (South Carolina) and Columbus (Ohio), Charleston (West Virginia) and Augusta (Maine).

Quiz	What you are given	Questions
Find the place	A name: “Find Wyoming”	51: the 50 states and D.C.
Find it from its capital	A capital: “Find the one whose capital is Pierre”	48: Indianapolis, Oklahoma City and D.C. are left out, as they give the answer away
Choose the capital	A highlighted state and four capitals	50: Washington, D.C., the city itself, is left out

The end shows something like “Done! 46/51 in 6:12”: only first-try answers count, so the 5 states missed — late or revealed — are listed, and “Practise the ones I missed” starts a round of just those 5.

How it works

Choose whether to find the states or find them from their capitals.
Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.
