Tetris Leaderboard
This is where the sharpest stacking on Tetris.now is recorded. Finish a run in any competitive mode and your result lands here automatically - Sprint and the other line-goal modes are ranked by the fastest time, while Marathon, Ultra and the score modes are ranked by the highest score. Every entry is checked for a plausible time, score and piece count before it is listed, so a place on this board is a place you earned.
Switch between the six seeded modes and four time windows below to see who is hot this week and who owns the all-time record. You do not need an account to appear - Guests post under a display name, and a free sign-in simply keeps that name reserved and carries your bests from device to device. The surest way to climb is not faster tapping but a flatter stack and fewer wasted pieces.
Inside the Ultra (Time Attack) rankings
This board collects the best completed runs of Ultra (Time Attack). Ultra fixes the clock and asks a single question: how many points can you squeeze out before time runs out? You get two or three minutes on the same standard well, and instead of racing to a line goal you are racing to inflate a score - A mode rated Frantic on a 10 × 20 well.
How places are decided
- Sprint is ranked by time. Whoever clears the line goal in the fewest seconds sits on top, so tidy, decisive stacking wins the race.
- The score modes are ranked by points. Marathon, Ultra and Cascade reward big line clears, back-to-back Tetrises and combo chains, so the highest total takes the crown.
- Only completed runs count, and each result is checked for a believable time, score and piece count before it is listed.
- Signed-in players hold a permanent name and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Flip between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to read recent form or lifetime bests.
What a strong Ultra result looks like
Numbers swing widely by player and seed, but here is a rough ladder to aim at:
| Just starting | Finishing a run at all is the win - Ignore the clock and the score for now. |
|---|---|
| Casual regular | A steady, controlled run with only the occasional buried hole. |
| Getting sharp | Flat stacking, frequent Tetrises, and very few wasted pieces. |
| Record chaser | Fast, clean, and almost error-free - Every I-piece becomes four lines. |
The quickest way up this board is not frantic input - It is a flatter surface, smarter hold use, and turning single clears into full Tetrises.
Push for a higher rank
- Work through the Ultra strategy guide to trim wasted pieces and stack flatter.
- Warm up on today's daily challenge - The shared seed makes results directly comparable.
- Race a friend in multiplayer for the kind of pressure that sharpens your placement.

Leaderboard questions answered
How does the Tetris leaderboard rank players?
Each row is a verified, completed run. Sprint and the other line-goal modes are ordered by the fastest time, while Marathon, Ultra and the score modes are ordered by the highest points. Every entry is sanity-checked for a believable time, score and piece count before it appears.
What is a good Sprint 40 time?
It moves a lot with practice. A newer player might clear forty lines in three or four minutes, a comfortable regular lands close to a minute, and the quickest keyboard finishers blitz the goal in the fourteen to twenty second range.
Do I need to sign in to make the board?
No. Guests can post under a display name straight away. Registering keeps that name reserved and syncs your best times and scores across every device you play on.
How can I compare scores fairly with a friend?
Play the daily challenge or race in multiplayer. Both hand every player the identical piece sequence, so the result reflects stacking skill rather than a lucky bag.
