OK, I failed the test but only because I can't click and drag fast enough with this stupid touchpad mouse. I just took a bath so my fingers are all pruney and won't slide easily. I'm gonna do it again later.

Visually placing them is easier and I just need to remember three things:

1. Maine is the only state with one adjacent state and it is New Hampshire.
2. Connecticut is a suburb of New York.
3. People in Rhode Island sound more like people from Boston.

So that keeps Vermont and New Hampshire correctly sorted and Connecticut and Rhode Island sorted. This makes the placement of the also small Delaware easy by exclusion.
