Tall Ordle

About Tall Ordle

Tall Ordle turns ranking into a building game. Each day is one numbered build, and it has five rounds. In every round you are given six things and a measure, such as height, speed or age, and you have 30 seconds to stack them in order.

Scoring counts pairs: every pair of items you place the right way round adds a floor to your tower. The landmarks on the way up mark how you are doing, from above the treetops at 10 floors, through inside the clouds and the sky turning dark, to the spire at 75 floors, a perfect build.

Everyone gets the same puzzle each day, so towers can be compared. The game is free and carries advertising.

It suits players who like general knowledge played fast, and who enjoy the small partial credit of getting most of an order right.

Tips

• Place the extremes first: the biggest and smallest are usually easiest to call.
• A near miss still earns most of the floors, so do not spend the clock on one hard pair.
• Read the measure carefully: oldest and earliest are not always the same thing.
