Who had more Wikipedia views last month?

Compare English Wikipedia pageviews from the last completed month. Decide whether the item on the right has a higher or lower value. Correct answers extend your streak and move to the left automatically; one mistake ends the run. Values remain fixed for your run, and source information is listed under How to play. There is no timer.

How to play

  1. Two people appear side by side (stacked on a phone). The first shows its English Wikipedia pageviews for the month; the second keeps its value hidden.
  2. Decide whether the second one is higher or lower and press Higher or Lower.
  3. The hidden value counts up and your answer is judged. When you are right, the second card moves across and a new one takes its place.
  4. One wrong answer ends the run. There is no timer, and values stay fixed for the whole run. Two values that read the same are never paired.
  5. Your result is saved in this browser. Once enough people have played a game, the results also show how your score ranks, and you can copy or share an image of your result, or replay.

Understanding the comparison

Pageviews measure attention on English Wikipedia during one completed month, not approval or worldwide fame. A news event can change the comparison substantially from one month to another.

Sources

Source: Wikimedia Analytics · Data period: 2026-09 · Collected: (UTC)

English Wikipedia pageviews during the last complete calendar month. Subjects come from our music, sports, screen and creator list that appear in the monthly top 1,000 articles. The pool changes each month. This is not search volume or unique visitors. Redirects are not summed.

The collection date tells you when we retrieved the source, not when every underlying observation was made. A failed refresh does not advance that date. For comparisons, the snapshot loaded for your run supplies the answers.
