Quick self-quiz
Tap each word to check what it stands for.
When to use it
Use it on any map or geography quiz that asks you to name the five Great Lakes of North America.
Example
Starting from the H in HOMES, the lakes read Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior, which borders four US states and two Canadian provinces.
Common mistake
Thinking the letters run west to east in geographic order. HOMES is an alphabetical scramble, not a spatial map, so use a separate resource if you need geographic positions.
