How to play Ranked

Ranked is a free daily ranking game. Rank ten cards by their hidden number, biggest to smallest. A new puzzle lands every day.

The game in three steps

  1. 1Each card hides a number. The card tells you what the number counts — calories in a Big Mac, people in Monaco, the year a song came out. It never shows you the number itself.
  2. 2Put the biggest number on top. Ignore the units. A number is a number. 71,940 passing yards beats 38,000 residents because 71,940 is simply the bigger figure. Drag the cards until they run from biggest at the top to smallest at the bottom.
  3. 3Lock it in and see how you did. Submit your order and the real answer flips into view, with a score out of 10. A flawless ranking is a perfect 10 — that's gold. Share your result with a friend and see if they can beat it.

What makes it different

Most daily games test one kind of knowledge. Ranked mixes them. In a single puzzle you might weigh a company’s worth against a mountain’s height, a movie’s box office against a city’s population, or a sprinter’s record against a country’s size. You are not ranking facts. You are ranking raw numbers — and that is a different, sneakier kind of fun.

The best moments land in one of three ways: “I should have known that,” “I learned something,” or “I have to send this to a friend.”

Common questions

What is Ranked?
Ranked is a free daily ranking game. Each day you get ten cards, each from a different category, and each hiding a real number. Your job is to rank the numbers from biggest to smallest. One puzzle a day, then you share your score.
Is Ranked like Wordle?
It shares Wordle's shape — one short puzzle a day, the same puzzle for everyone, a spoiler-free result you can share — but the game itself is different. Instead of guessing a word, you rank ten numbers across wildly different categories. If you like daily games like Wordle or Connections, Ranked will feel familiar.
How does scoring work?
You earn up to 10 points, based on how close your order is to the real one. Cards that are one spot off cost you a little; cards far out of place cost more. A perfect ranking scores a 10 and earns a gold medal. You always see exactly why you scored what you did.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your scores, your streak, and your stats are saved by your own browser and stay on your device.
How often are there new puzzles?
A fresh puzzle lands every day at midnight, with new categories and new cards each time. Miss a day and your streak resets, so it pays to come back daily.
