Whether you’re going to start guessing randomly to rule some out or are more of a methodical thinker, I promise you this one isn’t so simple. I know it took me longer to get there than it really should have, knowing the answer.

There is only a single letter in the entire alphabet that’s doesn’t appear in the name of a single state – so have you figured it out yet?

Obviously it’s none of the vowels, and some people might start by ruling out the letters in the name of their home state. If you don’t find the answer quickly, though, going through letters from beginning to end will start to get tedious fast – so maybe you’re tempted to guess.

How many guesses did it take you? Did you get there?

Are you ready for the answer?

Go on and tease your friends – you know you want to!
