The other top four states where word game cheats are used the most include Vermont, Maine, Minnesota, and Connecticut.
To get this information, Word Finder employees analyzed data from Google Trends as well as their own site traffic.
They picked Words With Friends cheat and Wordle solver pages as meaningful, representative samples of word game players overall.
