Travel by land from the starting state to the ending state.
Type the states (or DC) you'd pass through. Order doesn't matter.
You win when your guesses form an unbroken chain of shared borders from start to end.
States touching only at a corner (Four Corners) don't connect. Neither do water-only borders.
"Guesses away" = the fewest states you still need, given everything you've guessed.
Green: lowers the number of guesses away.
✅: a green that also connects to the start through your guesses.
Orange: doesn't help, but a route through it needs at most one more guess than your best remaining route. Red: further off than that.
No guess limit. Perfect = every guess ✅ (a shortest route typed in order from the start). +0 = minimum number of guesses, not all in order. Otherwise +extra guesses.
