Leaderboards
All leaderboards live under Leaderboards in the menu (/leaderboards). Each tab shows a different competitive dimension.
Leaderboard tabs
Global
- Sort by: Rating (Elo) or XP
- Shows players with public leaderboard visibility (
leaderboard_visibility: public) - Elo board requires at least 1 ranked game played
- Click a player to open their public profile (
/u/username) - Players with a private profile appear to strangers as an anonymous "Player" (with a lock icon) and no profile link. You and your friends see them normally
Friends
- Same layout as global, but only you and your friends
- Requires an account and added friends
- Sort by rating or XP
Daily
- Today's daily challenge leaderboard
- Sorted by score, not Elo
- Subtitle shows: correct/total · time in seconds
- Only players who finished with an accepted result (fair play passed)
Season
- Active season ranking by XP earned
- Independent of Elo — rewards consistent play in the period
- May be empty when no season is active
Category
Separate Elo boards in four categories:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Arithmetic | Basic operations |
| Powers & roots | Exponentiation and roots |
| Algebra | Fractions, equations, word problems |
| Equations | Equations and related domains |
Category boards show ranked games played in that category.
How is the daily score calculated?
Daily score is the sum of points per question:
- Correct answer: base points × difficulty multiplier × speed multiplier
- Wrong or skipped: 0 points
- Fast correct answers get a higher multiplier (up to 1.3×)
Ties are broken by correct count and completion time.
Visibility on leaderboards
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Leaderboard visibility: public | You appear on the global board |
| Leaderboard visibility: private | Hidden from global (friends board still shows you to friends) |
| Public profile | Anyone can open your profile from the board |
| Private profile | Only friends can open your profile. Strangers on the global board see you as an anonymous "Player" with a lock icon; friends see you normally |
