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

I'm honestly unsure of how "Mary," "merry," and "marry" could even be pronounced differently from each other psyduck;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-language_vowel_changes_before_historic_/r/#Mary.E2.80.93marry.E2.80.93merry_merger

they all sound pretty similar to me but I think I say "merry" differently from "Mary" and "marry"

i don't have a southern accent

i have a mild central pa accent

thankfully i don't say warsh but to most people in pittsburgh i (once) sounded very southern

the map shows me having more in common with southern accents than pittsburgh
