What U.S. state name listed below includes the six letter name of another U.S. state?
Arkansas is the state that has the six letter name of another U.S. state included within its own. The state name of Kansas is found in Arkansas. It is believed that the name Arkansas derives from the same root as the name for the state of Kansas.
The Kansa tribe of Native Americans were closely associated with the Sioux tribes of the Great Plains. The word Arkansas is from the french pronunciation for Arcansas. In 1881, the pronunciation of Arkansas with the final "s" being silent was made official by an act of the state legislature after a dispute arose between Arkansas's two U.S. senators as one favored the pronunciation as /ˈɑːrkənsɔː/ ar-kən-saw while the other favored /ɑːrˈkænzəs/ ar-kan-zəs.

Cute question.
Joanne Serin
How could as anyone miss this? The answer is right in the choices. Just look at the spelling. I'll excuse the international players who may not know the names of all the states.

Terri Spurgin Halpern, I needed a 50/50. The question wasn't very clear, and I note other players had the same concept that I did: anagrams. On it's face, though, the answer is quite clear, if one doesn't read into it. That's the directive of "think outside the box:" Don't apply restrictions that aren't there.
