Every day, one topic. One hidden Top 100 list. 5 guesses.

The twist: your score for a guess = its rank on the list.

Topic: Top 100 Most Visited Cities in the World

• "Paris" → ranked #1 → 1 point
• "Chicago" → not on the list → 0 points
• A city sitting at #96 → 96 points 🎉

So the first answer that pops into your head is almost worthless. The real game is digging for the thing that's just barely famous enough to make the cut and stopping right before you fall off the list entirely.

Before you click, what would your first guess be for Top 100 Most Visited Cities in the World? I'd bet money most of this sub scores under 10 on that one.

I combined the guess data from 15 daily "Top 100" trivia topics (9,735 players, 28,034 guesses).

The twist: players want to guess the answers closest to #100, not #1. Yet people still overwhelmingly gravitate toward the obvious answers.

Some fun stats:

• 25% of all guesses landed in the Top 10.
• Only 29% made it past rank #50.
• Just 5.2% reached ranks #91–100, meaning a guess was nearly 5× more likely to hit the Top 10 than the Bottom 10.
• The median guessed rank was #28.
• Interestingly, #2 was guessed more often than #1.
• Despite the skew, every single rank from #1 to #100 was guessed at least 70 times.

Methodology: Data includes only players' five official guesses from 15 consecutive daily puzzles (July 13–27, 2026). Practice/extra guesses were excluded. Data was aggregated by rank only.

Data comes from Centumth, a daily trivia game.

I built a daily trivia game called Centumth where instead of trying to guess the most obvious answer, you try to land as close as possible to the #100 ranked answer in a curated list.

You get a topic each day, 5 guesses, and your score depends on how close you get to rank 100 (so the goal is basically “not too obvious, not too obscure”).

It’s kind of like Wordle, but instead of converging on the correct answer, you’re trying to find the “perfect level of wrong.”

Would love honest feedback / roasts, especially on whether this idea is fun beyond a few days or completely broken 😅

I made a daily trivia game called Centumth.

You get 5 guesses, but instead of trying to guess the most popular answer…
you’re trying to get as close as possible to the 100th ranked answer.

So if you guess:

• #1 answer = 1 point
• #73 answer = 73 points
• #100 answer = 100 points

There are medals too:
🥉 50+
🥈 150+
🥇 300+
💎 490 (perfect)

After each game you can see the full ranked list, compare your score to everyone else, and share your result.

It’s way harder than it sounds because your brain naturally wants to pick the obvious answer.

Curious how close you’d get to #100?
