Countries that border Mexico

3 land neighbours: Belize, Guatemala and the United States. Each one has a page of its own.

Why this one is hard

3 neighbours to keep in the right order.

Its 3 land borders are joint 4th-most in the Americas — level with Chile, Guyana, Honduras, Paraguay and Venezuela. Of the 3 possible pairings among them, 1 is itself a border, which is what turns a list into a knot. Guatemala is the most connected of them, with 4 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Americas board alongside Mexico, and on the world board with everyone else in the Americas.
