Key Points
- Best Times ranks players by their single fastest solve per difficulty - a direct measure of raw speed, independent of season.
- 3BV/s (3-Board Value per second) measures how many logical cell-groups you clear per second, normalised for board complexity. It is the most meaningful and consistent measure of technical skill.
- Efficiency is the percentage of your clicks that were necessary. 100 % means zero wasted clicks - no redundant flags, no mis-clicks, no unnecessary chords.
- Total Wins is a lifetime count of ranked games won at each difficulty. Unlike time-based categories, it rewards consistency and volume over any single peak performance.
- This is an all-time leaderboard - it is never reset by seasons. For within-season standings and seasonal rewards, visit Season Leaders.
Climbing the Leaderboard
1
Pick one difficulty to master. Improvements compound when you drill a single board size. Players who focus on Beginner before moving to Intermediate see faster rating gains than those who split practice across all three simultaneously.
2
Treat 3BV/s as your primary target. 3BV/s normalises for board variance. A fast time on an unusually open board inflates Best Times, but your 3BV/s reveals the real picture. Improving 3BV/s consistently leads to faster times as a natural consequence.
3
Eliminate wasted clicks to raise Efficiency. Every flag placed and then removed, every mis-click, and every redundant chord reduces your efficiency. Aiming above 90% is realistic for most active players and directly corresponds to better times.
4
Build Total Wins through daily play. Best Times and 3BV/s can be beaten by one excellent run. Total Wins only increases - even a short daily session grows your win count steadily with no ceiling and no seasonal reset.

Pro Tips
- Sign in to see your row highlighted. When authenticated, your entry is highlighted in purple across all categories - making it easy to spot your standing and the gap to the player immediately above you.
- Cross-reference Best Times and 3BV/s for a fair comparison. A player ranked top-5 on Best Times but #20 on 3BV/s likely had one great run on an easy board. The player ranking top-10 on both is the more consistently skilled competitor.
- Click any player name to view their full profile. Profiles show trophies, equipment, rank history, and recent games - useful for studying patterns in how top players approach each difficulty.
