How this list is ordered
Not by popularity, and not by anyone paying — nothing on this site can be bought. Each candidate scores on four things: whether it uses the same mechanic, whether it has the same shape (daily, endless, campaign), how close its length is, and whether it costs the same. Entries we have already measured rank above ones still queued, because a recommendation you can check beats one you cannot.
One entry per site, so a publisher with eight games cannot fill the page. How we measure →
