Questions about this picker
Which states are included?
All 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Washington means Washington state; its capital is Olympia. Washington, DC and the US territories are not states and are not in this pool.
What regions does the filter use?
The four Census regions: Northeast has 9 states, Midwest 12, South 16 and West 13. DC appears in Census geography, but is excluded here because this tool draws states only.
Can I use this for capital practice?
Yes. Each result shows the state and its USPS abbreviation. Use Reveal capital after making your guess. Copy name includes the state, abbreviation and region, leaving the capital for your own quiz.
