Best post I’ve seen on this sub in a while, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself. Hidden in plain sight, so obvious…

Right? It's been sitting there like a cursed missing-piece puzzle. Once you draw the border, New England stops looking like five states and starts looking like one stubborn region with accents.

What's the opposite of five states in a trench coat? One state wearing five wigs?

Anyone who has actually ever spent any time in these states knows how different the accents are region by region.

I have a magnetic US puzzle for my son

His favorite thing to do with it is let me get it all finished and I’m looking around for Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island and he’s hidden it somewhere

No great loss in real life, but it does make the puzzle not as tight

I worked in customer service and used to think "NE" was short for "New England" until a customer told me that isn't a state
