There's only one letter in the English alphabet that is not used in the name of any of the 50 United States. Do you know which letter it is? Click below for the answer.
If you said 'J' or 'Z' you weren't far off. Each of those letters appear only once in the names of the 50 states (thanks to New Jersey and Arizona). The correct answer, though, is the letter Q, which does not appear in any state name.
To find the solution, I used a Python script to load a list of state names and count the occurrence of each letter of the alphabet. This method takes a lot less time than consulting a map.
