Sortem's daily challenge for Sunday, October 18: seven rows from Boiling Water to The Sun's Surface to sort by temperature, hottest first, above a Check Order button

Sortem gives you a list of seven things and a measure, such as moons by diameter, and you drag them into the right order. Check Order marks each item as in the correct spot, close or far, and you have three tries to get it right. A new challenge arrives every day.

About Sortem

Sortem is a daily sorting game in the trivia family. Each challenge has a topic tag, a short instruction and a unit. On October 18, 2026 the topic was Temperatures: boiling water, the human body, liquid nitrogen, a lightning bolt, a wood-fired pizza oven, flowing lava and the Sun's surface, to sort by temperature in degrees Celsius, hottest first. The days before asked for boxing weight classes by upper weight limit and human bones by length, and other days use moons, countries, cities, foods and more.

You drag the rows into the order you believe and press Check Order. Each item then shows whether it is in the correct spot, which locks it in place, close to the right spot, or far off. A row of coloured dots under the board records each guess. Solving in one, two or three tries earns three, two or one stars.

A countdown shows when the next challenge arrives at your local midnight, the statistics screen tracks your daily streak, and an archive lets you play past days without affecting the streak. Results can be shared directly to social sites. It plays free in the browser with no account, and its consent notice says it uses no third parties and no ads. The page fits a phone screen as well as a desktop one.

How to play Sortem

  1. Open playsortem.com and read the day's topic and the measure to sort by.
  2. Drag the items into the order you think is right.
  3. Press Check Order: correct items lock, close and far items show how far off they are.
  4. Rearrange the rest and check again; you have three tries.
  5. Share your stars and come back for the next challenge.

Tips

  • Place the items you are surest of at the ends first: they are easiest to lock.
  • Use close and far markers together: a far item usually needs to move to the other half.
  • Think in rough numbers: knowing one value lets you place its neighbours around it.
  • Play the archive to learn the kinds of measures the game uses.
