Jacksonville, Florida being the largest city has long been a trivia question that relies on this ambiguity. Based on the Wikipedia article, it looks like Anchorage is larger but maybe because it's a county equivalent, it's not considered a city in this context.

Jacksonville, FL, and Sitka, AK, are both “consolidated city-counties”.

Maybe it’s just the contiguous US? Fun fact!
