Paths

Objective

  • Build a continuous path from the origin country to the destination by naming bordering countries.

How to Play

  • Type the name of a country to add it to the path.
  • Each guess is color-coded based on how useful it is.
  • The path advances when you guess a country adjacent to the current end.
  • Reach the destination before running out of guesses to win.

Color Feedback

  • Green (locked) — adjacent to the path end and on the optimal route. Immediately extends your path.
  • Green (unlocked) — on the optimal route but not adjacent to the path end yet.
  • Yellow — adjacent to the path end but off the optimal route. Extends the path with an extra step.
  • Red — neither adjacent nor on the optimal route. Uses a guess without advancing.

Scoring

  • Your score shows how close you were to a perfect game.
  • "Perfect" means you followed the optimal path in order with no extra steps.
  • "+0" means you found the shortest path but not in the optimal order.
  • "+N" means N extra steps from detours or wasted guesses.

Tips

  • Think about geography before guessing — which countries actually share borders along the route?
  • If you're stuck, guess a country you're confident is on the optimal path, even if it's not adjacent yet.
