Might want to make it extra clear that you’re looking strictly for land borders? Today’s country, Denmark, has a bridge that connects it to its neighbor, Sweden. But Sweden was not what Neighborle was looking for as a valid answer.

Oh, and technically Denmark also has a land border with Canada (if you’re not excluding Greenland): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island

It seems like Greenland is treated as a separate territory, that's why it's not red and can be selected in the dropdown. Not sure if it knows about Canada - Greenland border though... I guess we'll find out when it shows up

Yeah. Bad day for this website to show up on HN if it’s built this shoddily.

Pedantry-proof is a bit higher bar than non-shoddy

It does mention in the how to play (under the question mark) that it only looks at land borders.
