Frequently asked questions
Q. How many stations does the New York L train have?
This quiz holds 24 stations, running from Eighth Avenue at one end to Canarsie–Rockaway Parkway at the other.
Q. Must I answer in order?
Yes. It asks for the station after Eighth Avenue first and works along the line. Knowing the order is the whole point, so you cannot jump ahead — but you can skip a station you are stuck on.
Q. Can I type romanised names?
Yes. Both the local spelling and the romanised form count, and spaces, hyphens, middle dots and letter case are ignored. Where a name carries a bracketed alias, the alias alone is accepted too.
Q. How do hints work?
Each hint reveals a little more about the next station — first its opening character, then how many characters it has, then the station before it. The count stays on screen, so finishing without hints is the better run.
Q. Are there other New York lines?
The list of other lines below puts the same city first. Once you have cleared the city, try a line from another country.
