Daily puzzle for Saturday 22 August 2026
The answer
Rank by surface area (smallest to largest)
- 1Lake Huron59,600 sq km
- 2Lake Victoria68,870 sq km
- 3Lake Superior82,100 sq km
- 4Caspian Sea371,000 sq km
Why this order
Ranked smallest to largest, Lake Huron (59,600 sq km) goes at the top and Caspian Sea (371,000 sq km) at the bottom.
The closest call is Lake Huron (59,600 sq km) against Lake Victoria (68,870 sq km), only about 16% apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.
The biggest gap is between Lake Superior and Caspian Sea, about 4.5 times apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.
