Cities that start with every letter, A to Z
Stuck on Q under City? Polarzinho, who has never left the bamboo grove, wrote the A to Z cheat sheet with cities around the world.
By Polarzinho ·
City is where a lot of players freeze. The letter Q comes up and your brain only offers New York, which starts with N. I have never left the bamboo grove, so I did the research for you: here are cities that start with every letter, A to Z.
I picked well-known cities from around the world. For the hard letters like Q, X and Y, I only listed real places.
How to use this list in Stop
City is one of the categories Polar Games’ online Stop already knows. On the room setup screen you pick a ready-made theme or build your own category list.
Stop! only draws letters that have known answers in the round’s categories, and a letter never repeats in the same match. A small town you know personally is almost always a unique answer.
PolarzinhoPanda tip: write a relative’s hometown. Nobody else will think of it, and the point is all yours.

Does any place count? The classic scoring arguments
Do states or countries count under City?
No. Only cities count, unless your group plays a broader “place” category.
Do neighborhoods count?
Usually not. Brooklyn is part of New York City, not a separate city.
