Couldn't figure out the pattern until I looked at the answer. Stumped me!
I knew the pattern but couldn't think of the state.
the pattern could also be:
2 each of 2 vowels? Ohio ?
2 each of 2 vowels? Ohio ?
that was hard didnt think of that good job
well thought out
well thought out
ur hint gave it away for me. great teaser
I am glad you all liked it. This was my first accepted teaser...second try at the same trivia. I have another in the works!
I got what the common thing was but I couldn't think of the state!
Could get this one
the hint gave it away b4 i was thinkin like last and 3rd to last are vowels...
Guess I should have checked the hint .. I figured each had two a's in name and missing state was Arizona.. must be my bias .. good one.. educational too!
I thought it was Ohio... Reading the first "capital" letter of each state O-H-I-Ohio.... Oh well...Good one though!
very creative BEADBABE, I didn't even think of that. I did try to think of an order to put the states in and tried to figure out which one I should leave out, but I didn't really have a method to my madness.
THX for all the POSITIVE feed back!

I was working with vowels at the first and last, OhiO and IowA. But you only wanted 1 state. Good one.
Come on, Drussel, is H a vowel?
Excellent Teaser u got a 2.5 average ur first try! Keep up the good work!
I was thinking it would have been too big of a coincidence to find out that the only states with a capital starting with the first letter of its state would also be the ONLY states with 4 vowels, two of one and two of another. Alas, North Dakota ruined that for me as the fifth and final state to match that criteria. Good teaser!
great one
I can't believe I got it
I can't believe I got it

Hard! I thought it was something about the four vowels...
