How the Fruits bracket works
This fruit tier list is played, not dragged into rows. You get one matchup at a time — Strawberry or Mango? Watermelon or Banana? — and after 15 picks the bracket has a champion, with everything else placed by how far it got. By the end you have ranked all 16 without ever having to look at more than two at a time.
This bracket runs 4 rounds at the default 16-slot size (Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Final), with every one of the 16 choices in the field. Everyone gets the same draw on a given day, so you can compare runs with friends; New draw gives you a genuinely different bracket rather than the same path twice. You can also play it at 8 slots for a shorter or longer run.

- Answer as if both options were in front of you and you could only eat one.
- The default run puts all 16 choices in the draw. Short on time? Drop to 8 slots — a quicker run over a random 8 of them.
- If a matchup genuinely splits you, undo and replay it — a coin-flip pick in round one distorts everything below it.
Questions people ask
What is the best fruit?
According to 122 BracketRanker players, Mango (King of fruits). It wins 69.8% of its head-to-head matchups (n = 301) and was champion in 30 of 122 brackets (24.6%).
How many choices are in the Fruits bracket?
The pool holds 16 choices. A default run puts all of them in the draw and takes 15 picks across 4 rounds: Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Final. Other field sizes are available too — 8, 16 slots.
Which choices are included?
Strawberry, Mango, Watermelon, Banana, Peach, Blueberry, Pineapple, Raspberry, Apple, Grape, Cherry and Orange, plus 4 more. Every entrant is listed further down this page with its artwork.
How long does the Fruits bracket take?
About 1-2 minutes — 15 choices at the default size, or 7 if you drop to an 8-slot bracket. It works the same on a phone as on a desktop, no login is involved, and progress saves as you go.
How does this compare to a drag-and-drop tier list maker?
Both are here, and the bracket is closer to a tier list than it looks. It ends with a champion, a runner-up and then every other choice grouped by the round it went out in — which is exactly a set of tiers, decided by 15 direct comparisons rather than by your first guess at a layout. What it deliberately does not do is claim a precise gap between two choices that never met. If you would rather place the choices into S through F rows yourself, the tier list maker loads all 16 of them at bracketranker.com/tier-list-maker.
How did everyone else rank these choices?
Every completed bracket feeds the Fruits community results page, which aggregates win rates across all plays and tracks how often each of the 16 entrants takes the title. It updates continuously, so it moves as more people play.
Can I build my own fruits bracket?
Use the bracket maker: add your own choices, name it, and share the link so other people play the same field. That is the route to take when this pool of 16 is missing something you would have picked, or when you want a version scoped to one era, label or franchise.
