About Centumth

Centumth is a daily list-guessing game. Every day the site publishes one topic and keeps its Top 100 hidden. On 2 October 2026 it was the most famous TV catchphrases; the day before, things people do when they cannot sleep.

The scoring turns the usual list quiz upside down. A guess earns points equal to its rank, so naming the first thing everyone thinks of might score 3, while a correct answer ranked 96 scores 96. A guess that is not on the list scores nothing. With five guesses, a perfect day is 490 points.

Each list is researched and ranked by hand, with the sources named on the puzzle where the site can show them. Typos are forgiven when the match is clear, there is one free hint per puzzle, and after your five scored guesses an Arcade Mode lets you keep hunting the rest of the list without changing your shared score. Every past topic stays playable in the archive.

The game is made by Eliass Lalaoui, who says it began as a game played on paper with friends. It suits players who like Family Fortunes style surveys and lists, and who enjoy the risk of going for the less obvious answer.

How to play Centumth

1. Open Centumth and read the day's topic and any note on its sources.
2. Type an answer you think is on the hidden Top 100.
3. See its rank: that number is the points it scores, or zero if it is not on the list.
4. Use your five guesses, aiming for answers you expect to sit near #100.
5. Use the one free hint if you are stuck.
6. After the five, keep guessing in Arcade Mode or share your score.

Tips

• Skip the first answer that comes to mind; it is probably near the top and worth little.
• Think of answers that are true but that most people would name late, the kind of thing you remember on the way home.
• Be specific; abbreviations usually do not count.
• A miss scores zero, so a safe mid-list answer can beat a wild guess.
• Replay old topics in the archive to get a feel for how deep the lists go.
