US Presidents Quiz
Name all 47 US presidents — in order from #1, or by number when we ask. Local list, no signup.
Name #1
Order mode: name #1, then #2, and so on. Or switch to By number.
Order and By number share one 0–47 score. Cleveland is #22 and #24; Trump is #45 and #47 — type the name again when that number comes up.
Can you name all 47 US presidents?
The United States has 47 presidential numbers — Cleveland twice, Trump twice. This free quiz asks you to name every one from memory: walk them in Order from Washington, or take By number prompts when you want a random office. The timer runs up so you can race yourself, but nothing cuts you off.
This is not the world list. Heads of state titled president in other countries belong on Name 100 Presidents. Shared format: What is the Name 100 challenge?.
Order or By number — same 47
Order mode is chronological: we ask for #1, then #2, and so on. By number shows a random open slot — “Who was #16?” — and Skip changes the prompt without scoring that number (it comes back later). Both modes share one 0–47 score. Local answer list — no Wikidata wait.

- There are 47 numbers. Grover Cleveland is #22 and #24; Donald Trump is #45 and #47 — each number is its own slot.
- Order mode goes #1, #2, #3… in sequence. By number shows a random open number; Skip changes the prompt without scoring.

Founders first, then the middle stretch
In Order, bank the first fifteen before the Civil War names. By number, use Skip when you blank — the same number comes back later. Cleveland and Trump each appear twice; type the name again when that number is up. Want every country’s presidents instead? Play Name 100 Presidents.
World presidents vs US presidents
Searchers looking for a “presidents quiz” usually mean the American line. This page is that quiz. Name 100 Presidents stays the Wikidata world list — France, Brazil, Kenya, and the rest — so high-intent US traffic is not dumped onto a global blank list.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many US presidents are there?
There are 47 presidential numbers. Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms (#22 and #24), and Trump is #45 and #47 — so 45 people, 47 numbers. This quiz uses 47.
What is Order vs By number?
Order asks for #1, then #2, and so on. By number shows a random open number (Who was #16?) — Skip changes the prompt without scoring. Both modes share one score.
Is this the same as Name 100 Presidents?
No. This page is only the 47 US presidents. Name 100 Presidents is the world list of heads of state titled president — Macron and others count there; this quiz does not need them.
Do I need first and last names?
Common short forms often work — Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Obama. Ambiguous last names (Adams, Bush, Roosevelt) may need the fuller form when two presidents share them.
Is there a time limit?
No hard cutoff. Race yourself with an upward-running timer.
Is the US Presidents Quiz free?
Yes. Free in the browser, no signup.
