Borderline, the daily route game

Join the two countries over land. Name the ones in between, in any order.

Every country you name goes on the map. One that doesn’t touch your route yet tells you what it does border.

Fewer is better. You’re told how many the shortest route crosses, and you get five guesses to spare.

Only land borders count, not bridges or tunnels. Far-off territories don’t either, so France doesn’t border Brazil through French Guiana.
