It seems buggy to me. I tried Kodiak bear and Gdańsk ( https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/?source=Kodiak%20bear&... ). The site found a 2-degree path through Europe article. But there is no link to Europe article form Kodiak bear article
Interesting. I wonder what are the two most separated pages, i.e. pages with the longest path connecting them.
11. Embleton → McCombie However, Wikipedia also has "islands" of pages which cannot be clicked out of to other islands.
Wonder what the largest island can be where you can't get out. At some point you must have a person who invented, created, discovered, explored, dismissed, destroyed, ... a key concept of what is discussed in that island and from there you get to a country and then have the world.
Having links back might be a bit more limited (depending on categories)

It says United States links to James Cameron. I can't find where that link is on the page. https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/?source=United%20State...
This is awesome! I was able to validate some trivia: everything in Wikipedia leads back to philosophy… All you have to do is search something and click the hyperlinks randomly and eventually you’ll end up in philosophy… Very small degrees of freedom so far..

Small point but the last link here (from 2008) is a different project with the same title.
