Rankle #86 answer: number of known moons (fewest to most)

Daily puzzle for Saturday 29 August 2026

The answer

Rank by number of known moons (fewest to most)

  1. 1Earth1 moon
  2. 2Mars2 moons
  3. 3Neptune16 moons
  4. 4Saturn293 moons

Why this order

Ranked fewest to most, Earth (1 moon) goes at the top and Saturn (293 moons) at the bottom.

The closest call is Earth (1 moon) against Mars (2 moons), about 2 times apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Neptune and Saturn, about 18 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 290.

These are the figures the game reveals after you submit. They are rounded; only the order is scored.

Difficulty: easier, judged by how close the tightest pair is.
