It’s not good news to share, but a new survey landed New Jersey at the top of the list of most cheaters in the U.S.
Solitaire Bliss surveyed Americans to learn about their habits in 2024, and collected data on which states and cities are home to the most cheaters, what Americans are cutting corners on most, and what they regret.
New Jersey placed No. 1, with a score of 98.8 out of 100. New Jeseyans admitted to cheating while playing multiplayer games (57 percent), swapping tags or lying about prices to get cheaper items when shopping, or lying about our participation in a lifestyle challenge.
The Top 10 States With the Most Cheaters:
- New Jersey
- Nevada
- Colorado
- Iowa
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- Illinois
- Arizona
- Massachusetts
- Oklahoma

And schoolwork is the 3rd most regrettable offense, with about 18 percent of kids feeling badly about their actions.
According to the survey, about 1 in 2 people admit to cutting in front of someone in line, 1 in 3 have cheated on their partner, and cheating on partners, diets and schoolwork are our biggest regrets.
