Ranked

What is Ranked?

Ranked is a free daily puzzle from Witsday that asks you to sort five things into the correct order. Each day presents a ranking prompt—such as the tallest, oldest, fastest, or priciest—and a new set of cards. The daily puzzle is the same for everyone, so players can compare their results with friends.

Five items and three tries gives you just enough data to make a smart estimate, and the shared daily puzzle means everyone's playing the same numbers.

Quick, breezy, and perfect for a coffee break—three tries is just right for a little daily fun.

A fair little mechanic: five unknowns, three attempts, and only green locks tell you you're actually on the right track.

Like a tight short film, it's over too soon, but the daily reveal keeps me coming back to see what wild ranking they picked next.

How to play Ranked

You have three tries to arrange the five items in the right order. After a try, any cards in the correct spot lock green. Use the remaining tries to rearrange the unlocked cards until all five are in place.

Tips & strategy

• Read the prompt closely: a criterion like 'tallest' and 'oldest' calls for different kinds of comparisons.
• On your first attempt, place items you are most confident about at the extremes, since ends are often easiest to verify.
• Once cards lock green, treat them as anchors and don't move them while adjusting the others.
• If you're unsure of exact rankings, use your first attempt partly as a way to get feedback from the green locks.
• Consider what you know about real-world measurements or dates to break a close pair.
