- The fascinating question of the maximum value of twin-width on planar graphs is nowadays not far from the final resolution; there is a lower bound of 7 coming from a construction by Král' and Lamaison [arXiv, September 2022], and an upper bound of 8 by Hliněný and Jedelský [arXiv, October 2022]. The upper bound (currently best) of 8, however, is rather complicated and involved. In the paper we give a short and simple self-contained proof that the twin-width of planar graphs is at most 11. We believe that this short proof can also shed more light on the topic of upper bound(s) on the twin-width of planar and beyond-planar graphs in general.
