http://www.wordnik.com/lists/pterodactyl-s-game-of-postal-abbreviations.xml Here's a fun little word game that might appeal to my fellow Wordies. The object of this game is to create the longest possible word, using only the official two-letter abbreviations of U.S. states and Canadian provinces. For example: DE + NY = <a href="/words/DENY">DENY</a>. LA + ME = <a href="/words/LAME">LAME</a>. States and provinces may be combined in any order. Each state or province may be used only once per word. Proper nouns are unsportsmanlike. <br /> <br />The acceptable abbreviations are as follows: <a href="/words/AK">AK</a>, <a href="/words/AL">AL</a>, <a href="/words/AS">AS</a>, <a href="/words/AR">AR</a>, <a href="/words/AZ">AZ</a>, <a href="/words/CA">CA</a>, <a href="/words/CO">CO</a>, <a href="/words/CT">CT</a>, <a href="/words/DE">DE</a>, <a href="/words/FL">FL</a>, <a href="/words/GA">GA</a>, <a href="/words/GU">GU</a>, <a href="/words/HI">HI</a>, <a href="/words/IA">IA</a>, <a href="/words/ID">ID</a>, <a href="/words/IL">IL</a>, <a href="/words/IN">IN</a>, <a href="/words/KS">KS</a>, <a href="/words/KY">KY</a>, <a href="/words/LA">LA</a>, <a href="/words/MA">MA</a>, <a href="/words/MD">MD</a>, <a href="/words/ME">ME</a>, <a href="/words/MI">MI</a>, <a href="/words/MN">MN</a>, <a href="/words/MO">MO</a>, <a href="/words/MS">MS</a>, <a href="/words/MT">MT</a>, <a href="/words/NC">NC</a>, <a href="/words/ND">ND</a>, <a href="/words/NE">NE</a>, <a href="/words/NH">NH</a>, <a href="/words/NJ">NJ</a>, <a href="/words/NM">NM</a>, <a href="/words/NV">NV</a>, <a href="/words/NY">NY</a>, <a href="/words/MP">MP</a>, <a href="/words/OH">OH</a>, <a href="/words/OK">OK</a>, <a href="/words/OR">OR</a>, <a href="/words/PA">PA</a>, <a href="/words/PR">PR</a>, <a href="/words/RI">RI</a>, <a href="/words/SC">SC</a>, <a href="/words/SD">SD</a>, <a href="/words/TN">TN</a>, <a href="/words/TX">TX</a>, <a href="/words/VI">VI</a>, <a href="/words/UT">UT</a>, <a href="/words/VA">VA</a>, <a href="/words/VT">VT</a>, <a href="/words/WA">WA</a>, <a href="/words/WI">WI</a>, <a href="/words/WV">WV</a>, <a href="/words/WY">WY</a>, <a href="/words/AB">AB</a>, <a href="/words/BC">BC</a>, <a href="/words/MB">MB</a>, <a href="/words/NB">NB</a>, <a href="/words/NL">NL</a>, <a href="/words/NT">NT</a>, <a href="/words/NS">NS</a>, <a href="/words/NU">NU</a>, <a href="/words/ON">ON</a>, <a href="/words/PE">PE</a>, <a href="/words/QC">QC</a>, <a href="/words/SK">SK</a>, <a href="/words/YT">YT</a>. And yes, this does include territories such as Guam and Yukon. <br /> <br /> http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/vial Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:48:07 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/vial
