I've been having trouble figuring out how to amend definition pages in a way that will satisfy your rules, but I hope you will consider adding a word to your collection, namely "In-State", a word that is no doubt limited to the USA, and has no connection to the words "instate" or "in-state". In the US, "In-State" describes the lower level of tuition that public universities charge to citizens of the state in which the university is located, compared to "Out-of-State" tuition levels for non-residents. Thus the word "Out-of-State" might also be added. Both words are adjectives.

I just discovered that you have already included "in-state" and "out-of-state in our collection, though without the capitalization typical of other citations. Glad to see it.

I am confused, however.  You have three versions of "instate", i.e. the preceding spelling, as well as alternatives ̠"in state" and "in-state", though these alternatives are not listed among the anagrams for "instate".  Is this a policy of Wiktionary, or an accidental omission?
