2. List All Possible States: For each letter, write down every state name that begins with that letter. Some letters have only one state (e.g., "D" for Delaware), while others have multiple (e.g., "M" for Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, etc.).
3. Check Completeness: Ensure that no state is missed and that all states are correctly categorized under their respective letters.
4. Final Answer: Compile the results into a neat list for each letter.
