Frequently Asked Questions
This tier list maker FAQ covers everything you need to know about making, sharing, and customizing tier lists.
A tier list is a simple ranking system that sorts items into labeled tiers — usually S, A, B, C and D — from best to worst. It is a quick, visual way to compare and rank anything.

S, A, B, C, and D are the default tier labels in our tier list maker, running from best (S) to worst (D). They are just a starting point, though. You can rename any tier to whatever fits your topic, like “Must-Play” instead of S or “Skip It” instead of D, and add or remove tiers so the ranking matches exactly how you think about the subject.
Yes. When you share a tier list link, other people can view it and, on supported templates, add their own upvotes so you can see which placements the community agrees with. It is a simple way to turn a personal ranking into a small group discussion without anyone needing to sign up.
Yes.
