Most populous city starting with every letter in the alphabet (in the US)

Try it, I got 25 out of 26.

[dlsterner]

I gave it a shot, also 25 of 26.  Stumbled on "U".

[Roadgeekteen]

I gave it a shot, also 25 of 26.  Stumbled on "U".

U is very hard unless you live near LA. I also missed U.

[Ben114]

23 out of 26. Missed U, X, and Z.

[webny99]

That was fun! I got 100%, but I cheated a little bit.
I had to think about G for a minute, and I used Google Maps for Q, U, and Z. (For U, I just panned to the LA area, typed in "U" and got it )

T was weird. I stupidly forgot about the actual answer and typed a Phoenix suburb instead (omitting the names so I don't spoil it for anyone).
I didn't have any trouble with X. I knew it immediately when I saw the location, but then again I've been to that area.

[US 89]

24/26, missed U and Z.

[kendancy66]

i got all 26.  U was not difficult for me since I live in SO Cal

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Got all of them as well. That SoCal suburb starting with U almost got me. For a foreigner those starting with Q, X, Y and Z should also be quite hard without a map, but I knew all of them. That said, being a Sporcle quiz I wonder why the answer for K wasn't Kyrgyzstan .

Also, I consider the E answer to start with P instead (since in Spanish we usually disregard articles when sorting alphabetically) and thus the actual E answer to be in Oregon instead (unless I'm missing something).

[GaryV]

I didn't know U, and I blanked on G (swapping names in N and S Carolina).  Once in a while I forgot what letter I was on, tried a wrong city, and wondered why it wasn't advancing.

24/26

Missed U (which I never would have gotten) and Z (which I may have gotten if I had more patience)

That was fun!  I had to stop myself from overthinking a couple of times.  Almost went with Newark instead of New York...

[SectorZ]

24/26, got stumped on the U and Z, though cheated before time was up to get Z. Even cheating I still couldn't get U.

[DTComposer]

I was at 18 before I realized that the map was showing the location of the cities.  Ended up with not enough time to think about U and Q, wouldn't have gotten X or Z.

It's a bit outdated, since Phoenix passed Philadelphia a couple of years ago.

[ftballfan]

Got all 26 without cheating

[golden eagle]

I got all 26!

[NWI_Irish96]

I was at 18 before I realized that the map was showing the location of the cities.  Ended up with not enough time to think about U and Q, wouldn't have gotten X or Z.

It's a bit outdated, since Phoenix passed Philadelphia a couple of years ago.

I tried it without looking and also got 18. Likely would have gotten all except U if I had been looking.

[I-55]

25/26, missed U like everyone else

I didn't realize the map showed where the cities were at first. I also have been watching a lot of hockey lately so I naturally typed Calgary and Edmonton forgetting that this was US only, yet somehow didn't think Chicago over Calgary given I just watched the Blackhawks game against the Oilers. I'm a Pens fan and am disappointed. How do you lose to the CANADIENS? 

[Scott5114]

I've never even heard of the U one. No chance of getting that.

[STLmapboy]

25/26. I got U, X, and Z, but stumbled on Q.

[CtrlAltDel]

I got them all except G, U, and X. I was especially annoyed by U, since I've been there. Spent the night, even.

[CoreySamson]

23/26. Missed U, Q, and Z. Thought Uvalde for U for some illogical reason (never been to SoCal).

Not nice to put guesses in here. Left the content but made it difficult to accidentally see.

16.5/26. The half comes from one that has the right name but wrong state .
