Find the missing country
Missing link: Myanmar. China and Thailand do not share a border. In this recorded attempt, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have already been guessed, but remain disconnected until Myanmar fills the gap.
Historical video example, not today’s answer. Cropped gameplay frames are credited below. Tap an image to enlarge it or use its timestamp to watch the original moment.
This is a long-route challenge from a 2024 video. It is not presented as a recorded weekly puzzle or as the current week's solution.
1. Find where yellow changes to gray
China is yellow; Thailand and the countries beyond it are gray. More guesses near Timor will not fix that break. Inspect the strip immediately south of China and north-west of Thailand.
2. Fill the missing link
Enter Myanmar, choosing the spelling offered by the game. In this attempt the other required countries are already present, so filling that one gap completes the chain.
The completion message appears after the missing country is supplied. If your puzzle has different endpoints or countries to avoid, use the same gap-finding method; do not assume Myanmar is always the answer.
3. Check the actual score
The result reads 11 guesses used, shortest solution 11. This supports the route length. It does not demonstrate a current Perfect entered in start-to-finish order: the video is historical and the player entered countries out of order.
The full route, in order
Ireland → United Kingdom → France → Germany → Poland → Belarus → Russia → China → Myanmar → Thailand → Malaysia → Indonesia → East Timor (Timor-Leste).
The bold countries are the eleven guesses. Endpoints are supplied by the puzzle. This chain uses the UK–France tunnel link and Malaysia’s connection to Indonesia; it does not jump directly from Poland to Russia via Kaliningrad. The border rules explain those exceptions.
