Tier Lists

Popular things to rank

You can build a tier list out of almost anything. Here are some of the most popular categories our community loves to rank — pick one to get inspired, or create your own from scratch.

Gaming

Rank game characters, weapons, classes, and maps, or settle the debate over the best games of all time. Perfect for meta discussions, PvP arena rankings, and gacha character tiers.

Anime & Manga

Rank your favorite characters, story arcs, openings, or entire series. Great for sharing your hot takes with fellow fans.

Movies & TV

Compare films in a franchise, rank the best shows of the year, or sort your all-time favorites from S tier to D tier.

Food & Drinks

From fast food chains to snacks to restaurant dishes, food tier lists are always a fun way to start a conversation.

Sports

Rank players, teams, stadiums, or the greatest moments in your favorite sport.

Music

Sort albums, songs, or artists into tiers and share your definitive rankings.

Choosing from our tier list templates

Our tier list templates are built to save you time on the setup so you can spend it on the actual ranking. Each template already has a sensible number of tiers and a layout suited to the category, whether that means room for dozens of game characters or a shorter board for ranking a handful of restaurant chains. If your topic overlaps a couple of categories, like ranking movie soundtracks, feel free to start from whichever template feels closest and adjust the tiers from there.

Why these categories are so popular

Games, anime, movies, food, sports, and music show up again and again because they are topics almost everyone has an opinion about, which makes the finished tier list easy to share and easy for other people to react to. A ranking of obscure or highly technical items can still work well, but broadly known topics tend to spark the most comments and debate when you post them. These categories also make great content — see our tips for creators looking to grow an audience with tier lists.

Mixing templates with your own twist

Nothing about a template is fixed. Once you load one in the tier list maker, you can rename tiers, change colors, add or remove rows, and swap in your own images, so the end result reflects your opinion rather than a generic default. Many people start from a template purely to save setup time, then customize it enough that it barely resembles the original layout by the time they are done.

Starting completely from scratch

If none of the categories above fit what you want to rank, the blank template gives you a fully open board. You choose the number of tiers, their labels, and their colors from the very first step, which works well for niche topics, personal categories, or anything specific enough that a general template would not fit cleanly.
