🤔 #WonderingWednesdays

Did you know?

There’s one letter of the alphabet that doesn’t appear in the name of ANY U.S. state! 👀

Can you guess which letter it is?

❌ X? Nope! Texas and New Mexico have you covered.

❌ Z? Not quite! Arizona says otherwise.

So, what’s the answer? 🧐

The correct answer is… Q!

That’s right—Q is the only letter that doesn’t appear in any U.S. state name!
