The plates
Platedle has 98 plates from all 50 states: current designs and older ones you can still see on the road.
Every photo comes from Wikimedia Commons, where photographers and state agencies share them under free licences. Platedle adds the tape over the state name and crops nothing else. Each photo is credited below and on the game screen once the round ends. Photos under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licences are shared on the same terms, including the taped versions.
This list does not say which plate is used on which day.
