What Letter Is in None of the 50 States?
Well, my trivia-savvy friends, the answer is...Q. That's right—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 6 letters that dropped out of our alphabet.)

Is the letter J in any of the 50 states?

And you'd be close — the letter J actually appears in one state name: New Jersey. Another Simplemost staffer guessed X out of the gate.

Is there a state with the letter Q?

As pointed out by Meghan Jones of Reader's Digest, the only letter that is not in any U.S. state name is the letter “Q”.
