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.
- Countries can be guessed in any order and connect once they form a route back to the origin.
- Reach the destination before running out of guesses to win.
Color Feedback
- Green with a check — reduces the minimum guesses remaining and connects back to the origin.
- Green — reduces the minimum guesses remaining but is not connected to the origin yet.
- Orange — does not reduce the remaining guesses, but is within one step of the best route.
- Red — a significant detour from the best remaining route.
- Gray on the map — not yet connected to the origin through guessed countries.
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
- Feedback is based on everything you've guessed so far, not just the original shortest path.
- If you're stuck, guess a country that could shorten the best route remaining.
