If you mean, compared with cold water, it doesn't. Hot water has to cool down first, before it freezes.

Why hot water freeze faster than ordinary temperature water?

This is a pervasive misunderstanding. It, in fact, does not freeze faster. Since the water is initially "hot", compared to "ordinary" water, the rate of temperature change is faster as it approches freezing (basic thermodynamics), however, hot water has a bigger range to travel than ordinary water


Witch freeze faster cold water or hot water?

I believe hot water freezes faster because it is supercooled. Cold water is non-supercooled. When cold water freezes ice crystals form and float to the top, forming a layer of ice over the top of the water, so the layer of ice stops evaporation . While the hot water, which is probably no longer hot in the freezer,when it does freeze, it freezes throughout, creating more or less of a slush before freezing solid.
