A hand-ranked Top 100 for this topic, ordered from the most obvious names near #1 to the hidden gems near #100.

This list was researched and ranked by hand for Centumth. Entries near #1 are the names almost everyone thinks of first.

Sources below are the starting point — the final order can include small editorial calls so the daily puzzle stays balanced.

You can play this archive puzzle with five guesses, or reveal the complete ranking if you came here looking for the list. Revealing locks this puzzle — you won’t be able to play it afterward.
