Quick answer
What is the US States Grid?
The US States Grid is a 3 by 3 typed recall puzzle. Each cell combines two clues about US states, and you enter one state that fits both. It is useful for state-fact practice, classroom review, and replaying with different valid answers.
- Best for typed US state recall, not multiple-choice recognition.
- Each cell combines two clues, so several states may be valid.
- Use it beside US States Bingo when a class needs both recall and recognition practice.
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.

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?
