Ladder: the daily ranking game
Ladder gives you six photos and a category, like the tallest mountains, the busiest airports or the NBA's top scorers, and you rank them from first to sixth by a hidden number. One try, no do-overs. A new category every day.
Play today's Ladder →How to play
- Read the category at the top.
- Drag or tap each photo into a slot, with number 1 the highest.
- Fill every slot, then press Submit to see the real order and numbers.
Scoring
- Each photo in exactly the right slot scores a point, and one place off scores half a point. The best day is 6.
- Score 3.5 or more to win the day.
- The share grid shows green for exact, yellow for one off and red for the rest.
Tips
- Place the ones you're sure of first, usually the top and the bottom, and fit the rest between them.
- One place off still scores half, so a near guess is never wasted.
- Think about how the number is measured: a mountain's height above sea level, a river's whole length.
