I played Globle today. I guessed Ukraine early on, then Romania and then Slovakia a bit later. At first, I dismissed the solution, Hungary, because the game continued to show me that Ukraine is closer than Romania as well as Romania being closer than Slovakia. Slovakia has a long border with Hungary, where Ukraine has a short border. The majority of Slovakia's territory is very close to Hungary, while the vast majority of Ukraine's territory is more distant than that.
Either way, my intuition would have been that Slovakia is obviously "closer" to Hungary than Ukraine.
I have since read in the FAQ that the distance metric was the distance between two countries' borders, so I assume that multiple neighboring countries simply tie and the sorting is stable by what was guessed first. However, I was wondering whether you had considered having a tie breaker for neighboring countries, such as for example the length of the shared border. Alternatively, it would help if it were easier to notice that two countries are tied in distance.
Minimal reproduction of the issue:
