Puzzle of the Day

I realize that few people like to actually post comments, but maybe a puzzle will break the ice around here. Anyone who can figure out what goes in the blank will win the respect and admiration of Husband and Wife (a wonderful prize).


Fill in the blank in the following list:

1. Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire

2. Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey

3. Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky

4. Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee

5. Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska

6. California, Colorado, Arizona

7. Washington, ______________, Oregon

I'm embarrassed to admit my mental inadequacies! #1 rules out contiguous states. There doesn't seem to be any order by date admitted into the union, though there is a general movement later and West! I can't place a pattern by capitals. Surely I'm missing something obvious!

Linda J. wins our utmost respect. Linda caught that each line consists of two states and the middle word is not a state, but rather the river between the two states. Between WA and OR is the Columbia River. Linda, you're brilliant.

Well, all of the masses who religiously read this blog now know of your profound brilliance.
