Mid-Atlantic state capital

Answer:

DOVER

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue points to Dover, the capital of Delaware, which sits along the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. The term "mid-Atlantic" narrows it down to states like Delaware, Maryland, or Pennsylvania, but only Delaware’s capital fits the answer’s letter count. It’s a straightforward geographic reference with no wordplay—just a direct hint to the state’s political center.
