Yellow box is unnecessary here, there is no way you accidentally can guess one of the other answers. But it does get in the way a lot. It is a difficult quiz, so a lot of answers will be skipped and it is easy to forget about the yellow box,especially since it is not logical at all in a quiz like this. So you keep assuming you get the answers wrong.

There are 20 answers and 50 state capitals. Without the yellow box it would be too simple to type all 50 capitals. I rarely like the yellow box, but here it is a necessity.

Excellent quiz. My only suggestion is to change the "face card" clue. Every other clue specifically refers to the word or sound that is the answer. "Face card" could just as easily be "jack" or "king" or "queen." Maybe "mechanical lifting device" or "Mr. Nicholson." But as it is, that's the only clue that doesn't lead directly to its answer.

Well yeah but also More than most could just be lots, or Small could just be tiny. The point isn't for it to only have one option, but for you to realize there is only one capital it applies to and to enter that capital.
