U.S. State Puzzle

Oh no! An evil demon has scattered the 48 contiguous states. Can you put them back together again?

To start, just drag any state to the right position next to a state it borders. The timer will start once you grab any state.

it's like 3:45 pm, 30th of December in Seattle, and then you're in Australia thinking why no one has been releasing any quizzes when it's already 10:45 am the next day. That's me every day. Everyone, "2020 is about to end!". Me, "Bruh, it's 7 o clock the next day, chill." Geez, these time zones, but you can't stop them, as they are vital to the world, but its kiinda weird.

I like to start by identifying North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska before I begin so I can link them together quickly and then build west and east from that group. The Dakotas and Kansas look very similar when you are in a hurry, so this has cut down my time significantly. 1:54 is my best time so far.

Is there any way we can do a version of this with the countries? Maybe since they don't all connect there can be outlines of all the landforms so, for example, the Americas would be outlined and the maritime borders would be outlined for Oceanic countries. Maybe any nation that is too small to see like, smaller than Brunei, perhaps could be in place at the start on not show up at all to avoid confusion. This would make for an amazing challenge and I would personally love to see this!

Well, I still can't finish it, it's taken me 2 days, so I think I have won the prize for time taken. I have one state left but it doesn't fit anywhere, I think it is a glitch on my computer.
