The method

How to Play the us states flag guessing quiz

Two clues solve almost every flag: the design family, then one small detail.

Most flags give you two clues: the design family and one small detail. First ask which family it is: a bold distinctive design, a banded tricolor, or a seal on a field. Then look at the detail inside the seal. That order turns 50 random pictures into a short checklist.

New York vs New Jersey

New York flies a dark blue field with Liberty and Justice. New Jersey looks close, but its field is buff, a pale yellow-tan, with Liberty and Ceres and three plows. Field color first, seal second, and the pair stops being confusing.

The challenge

Why It Is Hard and Fun

The flags are not hard because there are 50 of them. They are hard because 21 of them share one look.
1

21 seal flags

Statedoku counts 21 seal flags, and 17 of them sit on a blue field.

2

Same color, different seal

The blue field tells you almost nothing. The answer hides inside the seal.

3

New flags to learn

Mississippi changed in 2021, Utah in March 2024 and Minnesota in May 2024.

4

Free points exist too

Texas, New Mexico, Maryland, Colorado and South Carolina stand out at a glance.

Sample card back: Texas

Capital: Austin

Largest city: Houston

Abbreviation: TX

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the questions players ask most.

Minnesota, adopted on May 11, 2024.

Ohio. It is a swallowtail, also called a burgee.

21 of them are seal flags, and 17 put the seal on a blue field, so at a glance only the small seal detail differs.

Oregon. The front shows the state seal and the back shows a gold beaver.

Ignore the blue field and look inside the seal. Kansas has a sunflower on top, Nebraska has a blacksmith, and New Jersey’s field is buff, not blue.
