Which one is missing?

I stumbled across a fun fact that blew my mind, and I just had to share it with you all. Ready for it?

There’s only one letter in the English alphabet that doesn’t appear in any U.S. state name.

Yep, you read that right! Out of all 50 states, one letter is completely MIA. Can you guess which one it is? (No cheating—take a wild guess first!)

It’s Q! No state name includes the letter Q. Close guesses? J and Z only appear in New Jersey and Arizona, while B, F, and X are also rare. P shows up just four times across three states. Even if D.C. and Puerto Rico become states, Q still gets no love!
