Which part of a flame is the hottest?
Many many years ago my father challenged me with this question and we differed.
Like your answers I thought the tip.
He insisted it was the blue part of the flame. Later I thought he was right

The hottest part of a flame is actually just above the upper tip of the flame. This is what I was taught when taking oxy-acetylene welding classes.

Your answer is found at the very top point (tip) of the the blue.

Blue is the hottest. Actually, the hottest part of the candle flame is the blue part, at 1670 degrees F (1400 C.) That is where the flame has the most oxygen and you are getting complete combustion. The reddish part is the coolest part, about 1070 F (800C).
