Name 100 Leaderboard

There are two layers of ranking to understand. The first is the player-facing daily leaderboard, which compares completed runs for one challenge date. This is the most social view because everyone on that date is solving the same theme and target. The second layer is the broader summary area, which looks across sessions to show fastest clears, streak leaders, average completion time, and other recurring performance metrics. Together they let casual players see today at a glance and let repeat players track improvement over time.

The stats here are also meant to be readable. Fastest todayshows the best completion time recorded for the active date. Average completion summarizes completed runs for the current player. Success rate describes how often the player finishes started challenges. Average guesses helps you judge efficiency, while active players 7d gives a sense of how many recent players are showing up on the server-backed system. These numbers are not just decorative; they help explain whether someone is consistent, fast, experimental, or still learning the rules.

Name 100 currently uses a lightweight account model built around a public handle and a recovery code instead of mandatory email login. That is why the identity panel is such a central part of this page. If you save a handle, it becomes the public name shown on rankings. If you store the recovery code, you can restore that same player on another device or after clearing cookies. The recovery code is effectively the bridge between a casual web session and a longer-running competitive identity, so it should be stored somewhere safe if you care about streaks and historical stats.

This page also explains the difference between local-looking gameplay and server-backed summaries. Open mode and daily challenges feel immediate in the UI, but the leaderboard layer records accepted guesses, completion state, ranking order, and history so the site can support long-term operation. That matters for a web game because players want continuity. A daily puzzle is more compelling when it remembers who you are, what you solved yesterday, how fast you were, and whether today extended or broke a streak.
