Terms of service

Last updated: October 28, 2026

These terms cover ranki.gg (the "site"), a free daily geography and statistics ranking game made by Michael Yao ("we", "us"). By playing, creating an account, or buying Premium, you agree to them. If you do not agree, don't use the site. The game itself is at ranki.gg.

The game

ranki.gg gives everyone the same new puzzle each day. You rank countries or groups, name a top country, sort tiers, match clues, or name a country that fits a rule. Practice and the archive are there when you want more than the daily. The game is free, and ads support it. You do not need an account to play. Streaks and unfinished games stay in your browser. The privacy policy explains what is stored, and How to play explains each mode. About says where the numbers come from.

Premium

Premium is an optional monthly subscription. Checkout is hosted by Lemon Squeezy. We do not receive your card number. One subscription removes ads on ranki.gg and whereisshe.gg while it is active. On ranki.gg it also opens the full archive and ad-free Practice. The price is pay-what-you-want within the range shown at checkout (from $2.67 a month, suggested $6.70). The same confirmed email applies the subscription on both sites.

Billing, receipts, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Lemon Squeezy under their terms and the checkout page. Cancel before the next renewal if you do not want another month. When the subscription ends, ads return and the free archive window applies again. Premium does not change the puzzles or the answers.

Accounts and conduct

Sign-in is optional (Google or email). You are responsible for the session on your device. Don't let someone else buy or use Premium as you.

When you use ranki.gg, you agree not to:

• break the law, or submit a puzzle suggestion that is unlawful, hateful, or that includes someone else's private information
• disrupt the site, probe it for a weakness, or overload it
• scrape, copy, or resell the puzzle set, the schedule, or the site's original text in order to run a competing game
• misrepresent your affiliation with ranki.gg or whereisshe.gg

We may refuse a puzzle suggestion, end a session, or close an account that breaks these terms.

Intellectual property and public-data sources

The ranki.gg name, the site design, the original writing, and the way the puzzles are presented belong to us. You get a personal, non-exclusive license to play. That license ends if you break these terms.

The numbers come from public and published sources, including the World Health Organization, the World Bank, the FAO, IIHS, Our World in Data, national statistics offices, and other cited publishers. Those figures and publications stay the property of their sources. Each puzzle links to its source. A number on ranki.gg is for the game. It is not a new official statistic, and it is not our data to license onward.

whereisshe.gg is a separate game. These terms govern ranki.gg. Premium is the part of the subscription that also applies on whereisshe.gg, as described above. whereisshe.gg may have its own terms.

Disclaimer of warranties

ranki.gg is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, that a puzzle is free of mistakes, or that a third-party figure is complete or current. Publishers revise statistics, measure them in different ways, and leave gaps. The game is entertainment. It is not professional, medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not a statement about a country or a group beyond the cited number.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Michael Yao and ranki.gg are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of your use of the site or a Premium subscription. Our total liability for a claim relating to the site is limited to the amount you paid for Premium in the three months before the claim, or fifty US dollars if you paid nothing. Some places do not allow these limits. Where they do not, the limits apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, where the law does not allow that limit.

Changes

We may update these terms, for example when Premium or the ad setup changes. The date at the top is the latest version. Continuing to play after that date changes means you accept the update. If you do not accept it, stop using the site.
