                                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quick&mdash;run through the list of U.S. states in your mind. Now take a guess: what&rsquo;s&nbsp;the one letter of the alphabet that doesn&rsquo;t show up in any of their names?</p>
<p>Got your guess? Well, my trivia-savvy friends, the answer is&hellip;Q.&nbsp;That&rsquo;s right&mdash;50 different names, and not one of them contains the letter Q. Every other letter of our alphabet shows up at least once (well, unless you count these <a href="https://www.rd.com/list/there-were-six-more-letters-in-our-alphabet/">6 letters that dropped out of our alphabet</a>.)</p>
<p>If you guessed J or Z, though, you were close&mdash;and probably don&rsquo;t live in New Jersey or Arizona, since those are the only states that contain J and Z, respectively. There are couple of other rare letters, too, that only show up twice. No states except Alabama and Nebraska have a B in their name, and California and Florida are the only state names that contain F. If X was your guess, you were also close&mdash;the rare letter makes an appearance in only New Mexico and Texas. For a tougher state trivia challenge, try to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rd.com/list/state-nicknames-quiz//">guess each U.S. state based off its nickname</a>.</p>
<p>The only other letter with fewer than five appearances might surprise you: P! It&rsquo;s only in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Mississippi (the latter&rsquo;s double-P bumps it up to four appearances, even though it&rsquo;s only in three state names). However, if the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico become our 51<sup>st</sup> and 52<sup>nd</sup> states, that&rsquo;ll mean a little more representation for B, F, and P. Still no love for Q, though!&nbsp;Of course, there&rsquo;s more to the states than just their names&mdash;just look at these&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rd.com/list/50-states-facts//">quirky facts about each of the U.S. states</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
