How to play Put in Order

Each round gives you four things and asks you to arrange them — countries by population, mountains by height, rivers by length, films by release date. Tap one item and then tap another to swap the two, then lock in your order. Every item has to be in the right place; close does not count.

Rounds are built so the four values are clearly different from one another, so it is a test of what you know rather than a coin flip between two near-identical numbers. You have three lives, and after every round you see the real figures — so a wrong answer still teaches you something.

Questions

How do you play Put in Order?

You get four things — countries, cities, mountains, rivers or films — and you arrange them into the right order. Tap one item then tap another to swap them. Submit when you are happy. Get it right and your streak grows; get it wrong and you lose one of three lives.

Do I have to drag things around?

No. You tap one item and then tap the one you want to swap it with. Dragging is fiddly on a phone, so the whole game works with taps.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. No signup, no download and no app. Your best score is saved on your device.

Where do the facts come from?

Populations, heights, lengths and release dates come from Wikidata, which is free and open. Rounds are assembled so the four items are clearly different in size, rather than being a coin flip between two near-identical values.
