Wyoming · sequential passenger map
Wyoming license-plate format
Wyoming sequential passenger plates are modelled as a county digit, a hyphen, and five digits. In this atlas the pattern string uses A for a letter slot and 9 for a digit slot. Other characters are separators that appear on the metal but do not enlarge the combination space.

How the map works
Each A slot independently takes one glyph from ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. Each 9 slot takes 0–9. The product of those bases is 1,000,000 — the size of the sequential space taught here. Hyphens, spaces and dots in 9-99999 are display only.
The bucking horse is constant. County numbers remain part of how Wyomingers read a plate, so this atlas keeps a digit-hyphen-digit map rather than inventing a letter block.
Before this map, Wyoming used county 1-2345 bucking horse. Optional graphics (universities, military, environmental) can look nothing like the sequential passenger die and are not counted in the 1,000,000 figure.
Lettered SPR 9932 is not a Wyoming sequential passenger serial.
Generated versus issued
A string that fits 9-99999 is in-class. It is not automatically an issued plate. Series can skip blocks, retire numbers, or reserve low digits. This essay never queries a motor-vehicle file. See also generated vs issued.
