Every Bordlr puzzle is built on this border graph: you connect two regions by naming the chain of neighbors between them. With no land neighbors, Alaska never appears inside a chain — one of the quirks that makes the border graph fun.
Bordlr is a free daily geography game: connect two regions through the lands that border them, in as few countries and as few kilometers as you can.
