Please note that there are individual differences, between different liquids, or between different solids. But as a rough guideline, you can expect light to be fastest in the materials that are less dense - and also as a rough guideline, solids are often more dense than liquids, and liquids are almost always more dense than gases. However, there is a lot of overlap between solids and liquids - check the Wikipedia article "List of refractive indices" for some examples.

Methanol (liquid) 225,000 km/s
Glass (solid) 200,000 km/s
Methylene iodine (liquid) 173,000 km/s
Diamond (solid) 124,000 km/s.
