Utah, Iowa and Ohio?

Please reread the question, it says: "have only 4 letters" not "uses only 4 letters"; Ohio does not have 4 letters, only 3.

This took some thought, luckily though two of my kids had to learn a state song (listing the 50 states in alphabetical order). Can you imagine our drive in to school this morning? Two kids singing, one kid counting letters and one kid writing down the names of the states. So here is our list. Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Utah.
