Pathle USA

What is 🇺🇸 Pathle USA?

Pathle USA is the ultimate daily map puzzle for anyone who loves a good American road trip. Every day, you are given a start state and a destination state. Your mission is to travel from point A to point B by naming bordering states to build a continuous, unbroken chain. Minimize your detours, find the optimal interstate route, and complete the daily challenge in the fewest guesses possible! It belongs to the geography family of daily games: one shared puzzle per day for every player.

How to play

1. Connect the Start State to the Destination State by naming bordering states to form a continuous chain. You win the moment they are fully connected.
2. Each guess gives you a color-coded clue: 🟢 on a shortest path, 🟠 small detour, 🔴 off route.
3. Use the hint buttons to reveal: The Next State Outline, All State Outlines on the map, State Initials (First letters).
4. Alaska and Hawaii are reachable via sea hops (AK ↔ WA, HI ↔ CA, District of Columbia borders Maryland and Virginia).

Tips & strategy

Guess a country far from your first attempt to triangulate — the distance and direction hints narrow the map fast.
