Daily puzzle for Friday 25 September 2026
The answer
Rank by average surface temperature (coldest to hottest)
- 1Neptune-218 °C
- 2Mars-63 °C
- 3Earth15 °C
- 4Venus462 °C
Why this order
Ranked coldest to hottest, Neptune (-218 °C) goes at the top and Venus (462 °C) at the bottom.
The closest call is Mars (-63 °C) against Earth (15 °C), 78 degrees apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.
The biggest gap is between Earth and Venus, 447 degrees apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.
These are the figures the game reveals after you submit. They are rounded; only the order is scored.
