Daily puzzle for Wednesday 26 August 2026
The answer
Rank by average annual rainfall (driest to wettest)
- 1Sahara Desert1 mm
- 2London600 mm
- 3Seattle940 mm
- 4Cherrapunji, India11,777 mm
Why this order
Ranked driest to wettest, Sahara Desert (1 mm) goes at the top and Cherrapunji, India (11,777 mm) at the bottom.
The closest call is London (600 mm) against Seattle (940 mm), about 57% apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.
The biggest gap is between Sahara Desert and London, about 600 times apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.
From top to bottom the figures span a factor of roughly 12,000.
