How to play

  1. 1
    Read the ranked list prompt

    Each puzzle defines a list of exactly ten things — e.g. "top 10 US states by water area" — plus the metric, data date and source it ranks by.

  2. 2
    Type answers in any order

    Correct guesses snap into their rank slot on the board. Suggestions appear as you type; browsing them costs nothing.

  3. 3
    Five hearts

    A wrong guess costs one heart. Repeating a guess is free. Lose all five and the game ends — run out the board first to win.

  4. 4
    Five hint steps

    Tap a locked row to aim, then press Hint. Each press climbs one rung: a clue, then first letters, then a full reveal — five steps total per puzzle.

What makes it different

Ranking transparency

Every list states its metric and source — nominal GDP vs PPP, census year, what counts as a studio's first films — so arguments are about the data, not the game.

Forgiving input

Common short forms and small typos count: USA / US / United States all work; accents and a leading "The" are ignored.

Free archive

Every published puzzle is replayable — each entry keeps its answers, metric and source. Catching up is part of the game.

Unlimited mode

Practice deals past puzzles back to back — unplayed ones first — without touching your daily streak.

Watch the name: the original game lives at dailytens.org — other sites use similar names, but the archive and puzzles described here are the dailytens.org ones.
