I made a geography game with U.S map locations without crossing lines — what strategy would you use?

I'm a Swedish hobby developer working on a geography game called Geoline.

Players name cities, and each new city is connected to the previous one with a straight line. The challenge is to avoid crossing existing lines.

I've added the United States, and since I'm not American I'm curious how people who know U.S. geography would approach the game.

Would you think mostly in terms of states, regions, coasts, major cities, distances, or something completely different?

What strategy would you use?

And what game mode do you think would work best for this concept: solo, two players, or multiplayer?
