About this deck
Fifty states, fifty capitals, one deck. Each card shows a state on the front and its capital on the back. Flip, check, and grade yourself. Cards you mark "still learning" cycle back around before the session ends, so the deck naturally spends more time on Pierre and Frankfort than on Boston and Austin.
State capitals are a classic memorization task because so many of them are counterintuitive. The biggest city usually isn't the capital: New York's is Albany, California's is Sacramento, Texas's is Austin rather than Houston, and Washington state's is Olympia, not Seattle. That mismatch is exactly why passive review fails here: you have to actually retrieve the answer, be wrong a few times, and let the correction sink in. Flash cards force that retrieval.
This deck works for a fourth-grade geography unit, a citizenship-test refresher, or trivia-night prep. Run it once to find your gaps, then use the report's "study just the missed cards" option to focus on them. Your best and latest scores are stored in your browser so you can see the misses shrink session over session.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this deck include all 50 state capitals?
- Yes. One card per state, all 50 states, from Montgomery, Alabama to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
- What's the hardest state capital to remember?
- The usual troublemakers are the small ones that aren't their state's famous city: Pierre (South Dakota), Frankfort (Kentucky), Montpelier (Vermont), and Olympia (Washington). The deck's re-queue loop automatically gives you extra reps on whichever ones you miss.
- Is this flash card deck free?
- Yes, completely: no sign-up, no app to install. Progress is saved in your own browser.
- Can I study only the capitals I keep missing?
- Yes. Finish a run and the session report lists every miss with a one-tap button to re-study just those cards.
