Daily Tens

What Daily Tens is

Daily Tens shows the heading of a top 10 ranking and leaves all ten numbered slots blank until you name what belongs in them. One list goes up each day, five wrong answers close it, and a calendar of past games lets you go back to earlier lists, one of them per day.

How a round works

The board opens with the date, the list's title and ten rows of question marks. Type an entry; if it is on the list it appears at its rank, and if not it counts as a miss, with the fifth miss ending the game. Spelling counts, because a misspelled name is marked wrong, so a browse button that shows every possible answer is there for checking. A second icon tells you what the ranking measures and where it comes from. The opening tutorial uses a sample list of the biggest US states, with Alaska, Texas and California at the top. The archive calendar runs back to June 2026.

Good if you like…

• GuessTen: GuessTen also wants all ten names from a ranking, such as the leading potato-growing countries, but allows fifteen guesses in total instead of stopping at five misses.
• Centumth: Centumth works from a hidden ranked list too, but one running to 100 places, with five guesses where the overlooked answers near the bottom score the most.
• Top 5: Top 5 cuts the job down to the five highest entries, picked from a searchable menu with five lives, and putting them in the right order is a bonus.
• Disorderly: Disorderly keeps to ranked lists but turns the job around: the items are given, and you sort them by a stated yardstick such as size or date, with hundreds of older puzzles saved.
