Hemiscope Ladder
Drag the day's photos into order by a hidden statistic, in one shot.
Every day: One numbered ranking a day, the same for everyone: drag a set of photos (six to ten) into order by a hidden statistic, such as population or height, in one attempt. New puzzle: Midnight in your own time zone.
Ladder is Hemiscope's daily ranking game. Each day brings a category, such as the most populous Asian countries, and a set of photos to put in order; every item in exactly the right slot scores a point and one place out scores half.
About Hemiscope Ladder
Ladder is one of the daily puzzles on Hemiscope, a collection of geography, history and logic games from Kyro Game Studios that also includes Timeline. Each day has one numbered Ladder (number 44 on 2 October 2026), and the category rotates: the site mentions NBA scoring leaders, tallest mountains and busiest airports, and the day we checked asked for Asian countries by population.
You see the photos, between six and ten of them, and drag them into the order you think is right, from the top of the ladder down. You only get one shot, so check before you submit. Each photo in exactly the right place earns a point, and one that is one place out earns half a point.
An answers page explains past rankings. It suits trivia fans who like numbers and comparisons, and anyone who enjoys a quick daily ranking.
