About Rank Stocks stock sorting game

Rank Stocks is a stock-market sorting game: you are shown five real public companies and you order them from #1 to #5 on a single financial measure — market capitalization, annual revenue, net income, or number of employees. The metric is fixed each round, so every ranking is an apples-to-apples comparison.

It sharpens the thing most beginners get wrong: how big a company actually is. Market cap, revenue, net income, and headcount each tell a different story — a business can lead on one and lag on another — and lining companies up side by side is the fastest way to feel those differences. Practice is free with no sign-in.

How to play

  1. Select market cap, revenue, net income, or headcount to rank on

    Set the session to rank on one financial measure at a time — market capitalization, revenue, net income, or employees. That way each round asks an apples-to-apples question: from largest to smallest on a single, clearly defined number.

  2. Order five public companies from first to last

    You see a batch of real companies. Assign positions from #1 (highest on your metric) down to #5, using taps to move names into place. It is a structured "sort these five stocks by size" task instead of a single A-or-B call.

  3. Learn in Practice; build a streak in Challenge

    Practice runs ten relaxed rounds — after each one you see how close your order was, and a wrong ranking never ends the session. Challenge is sudden-death: only a perfectly ordered board keeps your streak alive, one mistake ends the run, and your best streak posts to the leaderboard.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rank Stocks free to play on Ticker League?
Yes. The game is free, and you can use Practice without signing in for a casual session. An account is useful when you want to participate in challenge scoring or leaderboards where those features exist.
Which financial metrics can I use to rank the five companies?
You can choose market capitalization, revenue, net income, or headcount for a run. The metric is fixed for that session, so you always rank on one yardstick, which makes wrong answers easier to interpret and improves learning.
How is scoring and the leaderboard calculated in Rank Stocks?
After each board you see an accuracy score showing how close your order was to correct. Challenge itself is sudden-death on the streak: only a perfectly ordered board advances you, and a single misplacement ends the run — so your Challenge score is the number of perfect boards in a row before your first mistake, and that streak is what posts to the leaderboard.
