Drag pieces into the puzzle grid to make each row spell out the name of one of the 25 most-populated cities in the United States. The population of each city is supplied as a clue, as well as the state the city is in. The cities are ranked by population. If you're stuck for an answer, shift-click on the circle to the left of a row and that answer will move itself into position.

The source for populations is the 2001 on-line edition of the U.S. Census Bureau’s “Statistical Abstract of the United States”, from table 31 of the population tables. Note that a city’s population includes its whole metropolitan area, which often includes people living in more than one state.
