How to play
Read the ranking prompt and identify what is being measured. A list by one statistic can have a very different order from a familiar popularity ranking.
Arrange five selected items in the order you believe matches the target. You are solving both membership in the top five and each item’s position.
Submit an arrangement and inspect the colour feedback. It distinguishes an item in the right position from one that belongs elsewhere or outside the five.
Revise the ranking using that feedback. The daily puzzle gives five attempts, so keep confirmed information while testing the uncertain positions.
How it differs from Krillion
Factle shares a brief daily knowledge ritual with Krillion. Its task is ordered deduction: several guesses gradually reveal a fixed ranking. An obscure fact helps only if it places an item correctly. There is no reward here for supplying a rare alternative to the target list.
A better way into your next round
Check the metric, time period and population named in the prompt before building an order. Those qualifiers often matter more than broad familiarity with the subject. Establish the positions you feel most confident about, then use feedback to narrow the uncertain middle of the ranking.
Treat membership and placement as separate questions. If an item belongs in the five but is misplaced, move it instead of discarding it. If it is outside the target group, changing its position cannot solve that problem. Make each new arrangement test a specific uncertainty.
