Borders and sources
Only land borders count. States that face each other across water are not neighbours: Michigan does not border Illinois or Minnesota, and New York does not border Rhode Island.
At the Four Corners, Utah and New Mexico, and Arizona and Colorado, touch at a single point only, so they are not neighbours.
Borders along rivers count, as on the Mississippi and the Ohio. Delaware borders New Jersey: the Twelve-Mile Circle reaches the New Jersey shore of the Delaware River.
Alaska and Hawaii have no neighbouring states, so you must type them yourself. The District of Columbia is not part of the quiz.
The table of neighbours was checked against the shared boundaries of the US Census Bureau's cartographic state boundary files (us-atlas).
