First time I did it I got some small town in Missouri, Detroit, and Indianapolis.
Second time I got Rockford (IL), Aurora (IL), and Fort Wayne, IN.
So basically Midwest. There were a bunch of options where I could have chosen multiple like pillbug/roly poly, the one about semi-trucks, Mischief/Devil's Night, Mountain Lion/Cougar/Puma, Yard/Garage Sale (where it is obv), and sneakers/tennis shoes

rofl
also that is more of a dialect (which i guess is what the page says anyhow) than an accent thing.
there were afew things regarding cot/caught merger or merry/marry/mary type stuff but it's more of "what do you call this?"
because i dont really got a boston accent but use plenty of local terms

it puts way too much emphasis on certain words too. Like I don't think sneakers are really that much of a new england thing... And when I said cougar for mountain lion all of a sudden my final result put me in Seattle
