About this quiz

What you’ll practice

State nicknames are a fun shortcut to history, industry, and local pride—and this quiz helps you connect each nickname to the right place on the map.

Every question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can think it through instead of rushing.

Difficulty & common pitfalls

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: you’ll get a balance of “everyone knows it” nicknames and less-common ones that are easy to confuse.

Watch out for similar themes ("Garden," "Sunshine," "Lone Star") and for nicknames that sound like they belong to a neighboring region.

  • Start with an easier difficulty to learn the patterns, then move up once you’re consistently accurate.
  • If you miss one, note the nickname theme (climate, industry, history) to remember it next time.
  • Don’t overthink: many official nicknames are straightforward, while unofficial ones can be more regional.
  • Use shorter question counts for quick practice; choose the full 110 to build endurance and coverage.
  • Mix difficulties across sessions to avoid memorizing only the easiest set.

Tips to improve your score

Try grouping states by region and recalling shared history (colonial, frontier, mining, agriculture) to narrow down the 4 options quickly.

Repeating the quiz with different difficulty settings is the fastest way to turn recognition into recall.
