I got 90% too! Some of the square states are tough if you get them at the beginning

92% and 20 miles
For a real challenge, try it in Advanced mode
70% and 67 miles. Those central states are real hard on a blank map...

Am I the only loser then? *lol*
I got 77% though it didn't help that I got most of the square states towards the beginning, getting them close ain't quite good enough

Re: Can you place the States?
84% ave error 42 miles!!
heck i'm chuffed the only reason i had a clue is because the kids have a wooden puzzle of the states and it's currently scattered about the living room...i've often tried in vain to clear it up but don't pay too much attention it has a clear part that you put in first that gives you the outlines of each state
the kids can actually complete it without that
