How to approach it
Work top-down through scale rather than trying to recall exotic names. Begin with the biggest informal groupings people actually say out loud, then test each one against a single filter: does more than one national border run through it? If the name lives entirely inside one country's territory, drop it immediately. From there, mine the vocabulary of physical geography, because ranges, plateaus, basins, deserts, and forest belts are almost never confined to a single state, and the puzzle's answer key leans heavily on them. Cultural and historical labels work too, but they are more contested, so keep them as a second pass. Finish by scanning your list for names that sound scholarly or regional rather than touristy, and submit the ones you can defend in one sentence.
Get a hint
Start with the labels people use informally for chunks of the map: rough compass groupings, cultural blocs, and natural zones all belong in the pool.
A little more
Narrow by asking whether two or more national borders pass through it; a name that only ever appears inside one country's maps is the wrong track.
One step further
The strongest candidates are usually physical or ecological units, since mountain chains, river basins, and biome belts rarely respect political lines.

Why these answers count
The reveal ran to 884 entries, which tells you the graders were generous with anything coherently regional: 757 answers landed at 85 points and another 79 at 60, so breadth of plausible naming mattered far more than precision. The lone 100-point pick, Polesia, is a marsh-and-forest territory straddling several national borders, and its isolation at the top is the whole lesson, because scoring rewards the pick almost nobody else thought of. Mid-tier entries such as the Accursed Mountains, the Adamawa Plateau, or the Afar Triangle are perfectly good regions, yet they sit at 85 because a large share of players reached the same physical-geography shelf. The 60-point band looks like the safety net for broader or fuzzier calls. Rarer framing earns more: an ecological belt like Acacia–Commiphora bushland scores above a famous mountain range precisely because fewer people can name it. Aim for a real, defensible territory that most players would never list.
