The map helps, too, since you can look at areas that don't have any dots and think "What cities do I know of in this area?" and usually get at least one or two.

I see there's a tendency to name every small town in the immediate area to one. And seeing how I can name over 1500 US populated places from memory, I wouldn't be surprised if I can name over 3000 European places, including over 2000 in Spain alone, with nearly every village in Aragon included.

Edit: Here is yet another try with 1,649 communities: https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/217260. I made sure every community in every previous iteration was included.

I gave Canada a try as well, and got up to 71:

I decided to name 500 places that I could think of, and here it is:

The game now has a grand unified game for all world cities (and yes, this includes everything from all the other quizzes combined). I decided to do the US and the world separately, as it gets hard to distinguish smaller cities on the world scale map.

Here's my second attempt at the US city quiz... (893 cities)
https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/234120

And here's my attempt at the world quiz minus the US... (218 cities, 1111 total)

Here's my European one.

Note the "guess and see what works" in the UK (although there are some that don't exist in the US), food and drink in various countries, the gerunds in Austria (one of which doesn't exist anymore), and saint guessing in Spain and France.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Wow, you guessed my hometown but not nearby Zaragoza, which is way larger. I wonder how that happened. Oh, wait...

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Okay, here's my try at Europe: https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/europe/share/234364. You can see the local effect to the extreme, as I named literally every village in Aragon, Spain included in the game .

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Now I see they have added an option to mark every place with a given name, so I gave the US map another try and... https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/234477 Some highlights include the noticeable US 81 barrier and a place with a population of zero.

I got your hometown, but you completely skipped over my area.

[hotdogPi]

I just did my second attempt at the US game. 1500 cities without using the "all states" feature. Didn't manage to break 50%, though.

[hotdogPi]

Here's my Canadian one. It's much easier to hit 50% on this one.

[corco]

Off the top of my head - I diminish pretty quickly as you move south and east from the northwest

[CNGL-Leudimin]

My try at Canada: https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/canada/share/238024. Too bad it doesn't accept Flin Flon, Jonquiere, Chicoutimi or, the best one of all, Dildo.

Edit: here's my latest try at the USA: https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/238137. I've included all but two cities over 100,000; as well as an additional place with no population. I don't think I'll go further, since it is capped at 5,000.

[hotdogPi]

Here's my try with "every state", also pushing against the cap: https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/240619

[CapeCodder]

841 cities

https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/241643

[tq-07fan]

I got 843

https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/243024

A lot of names I remembered from railfanning or other trips.

It seems they have updated the game, because before it wouldn't accept some towns in New Hampshire and Maine and now it does. Earlier I had nothing in Northern New Hampshire because it wouldn't accept Franconia or Pittsburg. And now I've been able to add Carrabassett Valley, Caratunk and Monson, the last few places the Appalachian Trail crosses before the 100 Mile Wilderness and the final climb to Katahdin, and therefore a few members of a group I know thanks to that trail.

[tq-07fan]

I still found some cities and lots of smaller places it would not accept. For some reason it would not take Waverly Ohio. It also would not take a lot of smaller places in Illinois.

Still pretty cool.

Jim

[paulthemapguy]

I have named 660 cities in Illinois alone, without looking at a map. 

[kurumi]

I was scraping the bottom of the barrel, trying to get to 50% US before hitting the 5,000 city limit, and just made it: https://iafisher.com/projects/cities/usa/share/243747

It seems like the key to getting population numbers up is knowing not just the Dallases and Phoenixes but the Arlingtons and Mesas. Being able to visualize highway corridors also helps :-)

Then there are a bunch of places named after European cities, trees, water features, founding fathers, and Native American and Spanish words.

[SSOWorld]

Got to 700 before I started cheating 😉

[kenarmy]

Looks like I did way worse than you guys. But I bet y'all didn't get Lily, South Dakota with a population of 4  I'm surprised Delta, La was on there, I only know it because of the old 80 bridge.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Well, I'm pretty sure you don't have a couple places with a population of zero .

[hotdogPi]

Well, I'm pretty sure you don't have a couple places with a population of zero .

That really only happens when you choose "every state". It's not comparable to playing normally.
