None of them are on my edition, so I assume the correct answer should be "Delaware is not on the American version of monopoly"
I agree with the above.
WEE! Monopoly!!!
Not on my game they're not!
All of them but Connecticut are three syllable words.
Group teasers are always tricky because many times you can come up with a logical solution that doesn't match the creator of the teaser.
As was pointed out, there are many other reasonable possibilities. Just looking at this very quickly: KY is the only landlocked state; IL is the only one with pro baseball and football teams; VA is the only one that borders the DC capital; KY is the only one that includes two time zones; etc., etc.
Illinois' abbrev. is only one not comprised of 1st & last letter (though arguably DE is 1st & 2nd letter of Deleware...)
- *Delaware
