Game notes
About this US states grid
Daily practice: type state names, use Hint or Reveal when stuck, then replay with different valid answers.
Focused state practice
This puzzle narrows the grid format to US states, so the clues can test state names, capitals, coastlines, and admission facts without mixing in country-level geography.
Good for classrooms
The state grid pairs naturally with US history or geography lessons. Students can replay the same board and try different valid states for each intersection.
Static launch batch
The current release includes 90 date-based US States Grid boards generated from the local state dataset.
How to Play
- 1 Read both clues
Each cell combines one row clue and one column clue about US states.
- 2 Enter one state
Type a state name that satisfies both clues. Spelling is normalized for common punctuation and casing.
- 3 Use help if needed
Select a hard cell for Hint or Reveal one. Helped cells still finish the board, but they are counted separately.
- 4 Check the grid
Press Check grid to mark correct and incorrect cells. There can be several correct answers per cell.
- 5 Try another angle
Reset and replay with different valid answers to practice state facts and associations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this different from the Geography Grid?
Yes. Geography Grid uses country facts. US States Grid focuses only on US states, state capitals, coastlines, and admission facts.
Are there multiple correct answers?
Yes. Most cells accept several states. You only need one valid answer per cell.
Does this use live external data?
No. The current version uses a static Eesky-curated state dataset bundled with the site build.
Will this become a daily grid?
It already has a 90-day static puzzle batch for launch. The current board changes by UTC date without requiring an external content factory.
What kind of grid is this?
This is a daily practice Grid. It focuses on US state facts while keeping the same Check, Hint, Reveal, and Pick Mode flow as the main Grid.
