How to play

Rank eight things without knowing what comes next. It takes about a minute.

The rules

  1. Each day brings a theme, like “tallest landmarks” or “oldest movies”, and 8 items to rank.
  2. Items show up one at a time. You can't see the next one until you've placed the current one.
  3. Drop each item in a free slot, from slot 1 at the top to slot 8 at the bottom. Once it's in, it's locked.
  4. The real order is revealed at the end, with the actual values.

The trick is planning ahead: leave room for what might come. Put a skyscraper in slot 1 and the next item might be even taller.

Scoring

Each slot earns points depending on how far the item is from its right place:

Right slot100 points
1 slot off60 points
2 slots off30 points
3 slots off10 points
4 or more off0 points

Your score is the average over the 8 slots, out of 100. A perfect 100 is rare.

Streaks, practice and the archive

  • Streak: play the daily puzzle on consecutive days to grow it. Missing a day starts it over.
  • Practice: unlimited rounds on random themes, as many as you like. They don't affect your streak.
  • Archive: every past daily puzzle, to catch up on days you missed.

There are 90 themes, from animals and space to movies, history and geography.

FAQ

Is Peekle free?
Yes, there is nothing to buy and no ads.
Do I need an account?
No. Your streak, stats and settings are saved in this browser. Clearing your browser data resets them.
Does everyone get the same puzzle?
Yes. Everyone gets the same theme and the same items in the same order, so you can compare results with friends.
When does a new puzzle come out?
Every day at midnight, your local time.
I missed a day. Can I still play it?
Yes, in the Archive tab. Past puzzles don't count toward your streak.
How does “you beat X% of players” work?
Your placements are sent anonymously when you finish the daily puzzle, and your score is compared with everyone else’s on that day. The figure shows up once enough people have played.
Where do the numbers come from?
From Wikidata, the free knowledge base behind Wikipedia, and from the AnAge database for animal facts. Every value is looked up, not typed from memory.
Can I switch between miles and kilometers?
Yes, in Settings (the gear icon). By default Peekle follows your device’s region.
