Wow! I remembered more then half

Typing in, you don't have to capitalize the first letter. However, if misspelled, the state is not counted.

Thank you, Betsy, this was fun!

It took me 2 minutes, 57 seconds.

I started in the west and worked my way east (and north to south). Fun!

Oh Faina, now that wouldn't be embarrasing - that would be utterly humiliating! Not telling, but I drove thru the state the other day.......sheeesh!

Argh, I can't spell Massachusetts either. Thought I had Kansas but didn't and can't believe I missed Wyoming. That was fun though.
