⚠ Data accuracy notice: Rankings are fetched directly from the Wordscapes API and are a very close approximation of the in-game leaderboard. Minor differences may occur due to PeopleFun's end-of-tournament "tally mode". This site is not affiliated with PeopleFun or Wordscapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Wordscapes live leaderboard ranks players by Brilliance points earned during the active tournament window. There are two concurrent rankings: a World ranking (all global players) and a Region ranking (players in your geographic area). Tournaments reset twice a week — Monday and Thursday — so each window lasts 3 to 4 days. This site fetches the top 200 players directly from the game API in real time.
The scores shown are fetched directly from the Wordscapes API and are a very close approximation of the in-game leaderboard. Minor differences can occur because PeopleFun runs a "tally mode" when a tournament ends — the server recalculates all offline puzzles before finalising scores. Our data is updated in real time but treat it as a high-fidelity approximation rather than an official result.
The Last Tournament Results tab shows the final leaderboard standings archived the moment a tournament ended (Monday or Thursday at 01:00 UTC). These are the definitive final scores for that tournament window, preserved exactly as they were at transition time. The complete history of past tournaments is kept — nothing is deleted.
The Score Changes tab compares each player's score at the very start of the current tournament (captured at the Monday or Thursday snapshot) against their current live score. The difference shows exactly how many points they have earned during this tournament so far. Players are sorted by points gained, making it easy to spot who is performing best — or suspiciously fast.
The All-Time leaderboard ranks the top 200 players by their cumulative Brilliance points across every tournament they have ever played. The "Last Month Score" column shows each player's all-time total at the end of the previous calendar month, and "Score Gained" is the difference between that snapshot and their current total — i.e. exactly how many points they have added this month. This makes it easy to see who is the most active climber on the all-time rankings right now, independently of any single tournament.
The cheat detector uses a statistical outlier method (the IQR extreme-outlier fence: Q3 + 3×IQR) applied to all players' score gains. On the Score Changes tab it looks at tournament gains; on the All-Time tab it looks at monthly gains. Players whose gain falls far beyond what the top legitimate players achieve are automatically flagged as "⚠ Suspect". The method is very conservative — it only flags statistically impossible gains to minimise false positives.
Point dumping is when a player plays offline during the week, banking Brilliance points locally, then syncs everything at once when the tournament window opens. Their score jumps by a large amount in minutes. While PeopleFun has acknowledged this, it creates an unfair experience for real-time competitors. The Score Changes tab makes these spikes clearly visible.
World rankings include all Wordscapes players globally. Region rankings include only players in your geographic area. Your Brilliance score counts toward both simultaneously. Switching between World and Region on this page lets you see how you stack up at both levels.
Every valid word you find during a tournament adds Brilliance points to your total. Bonus words (beyond the required puzzle solution) add extra points. The Star Rush feature awards bonus points for finishing a level in under 3 minutes. Some players also have access to a purchasable Brilliance bonus multiplier, which can significantly amplify scores.
Top finishers earn in-game coins, gems, and Crown progression points. Crowns are seasonal prizes (4 seasons per year) based on your final rank across tournaments. Finishing in the top 3 earns the most Crown points. Teams also compete for a shared coin prize pool — the top 3 teams each weekend split rewards.
Players can be removed if PeopleFun detects a Terms of Service violation. New entrants breaking into the Top 200 also push lower-ranked players out of the visible range. The tally process at tournament end can also cause ranking shifts as offline puzzles are finalised.
