Quick answer
What is the US State Capitals Grid?
The US State Capitals Grid is a typed recall puzzle for state capital names. Each cell combines two clues about US states, and the answer is a capital city that fits both. It is built for state-capital practice and classroom review.
- Best for typing US state capital names, not state names.
- State clues narrow the capital answer set through crossing constraints.
- Pair it with US States Grid or US States Bingo for broader state review.

Crossing state facts
Clues such as "State starts with N" and "Admitted before 1900" narrow the answer set to a handful of capitals per cell.
