Order Quest

How to play

1. 1Read the criterion and the requested direction.
2. 2Arrange five cards with drag or the Move earlier and Move later buttons.
3. 3Select Check my order when you are ready; you have up to three submissions.
4. 4After the reveal, place the optional sixth card into one of six labelled gaps, or skip the bonus.

Rules

• Every card uses the same precise criterion; drawings are schematic.
• Your first submitted order fixes your first-try score.
• A correct order, the third submission or Reveal and finish ends the main puzzle.
• The optional bonus has one attempt and never changes the main score.

Scoring

• Ten relative pairs are worth 10 points each, for a first-try score out of 100.
• A perfect first order scores 100; one adjacent swap scores 90; a full reverse scores 0.
• Later repairs show your progress without inflating the first-try score.
• Revealing before any submission has no first-try score; a correct bonus earns a separate star.

Tips and strategy

• Compare neighbouring cards as well as the two extremes.
• Check whether the criterion means length, diameter or a precisely specified distance.
• Use Move earlier and Move later if dragging is awkward.
• Read the source definitions after finishing; familiar objects can have surprising measurements.
