Time Teller

Read the hands on an analogue clock and pick the right time. Questions start with whole hours and work up to any minute. A new daily set is waiting.

How to play

  1. Each question shows an analogue clock. Pick the digital time that matches the hands.
  2. The set gets harder as it goes: whole hours first, then quarter hours, then five-minute steps, and finally any minute.
  3. A wrong pick is greyed out and counted as a mistake, and you keep going until you find the right one. The clock stops after the last question.
  4. The daily set is the same for everyone and resets at 00:00 UTC. Practice mode has sets of 8, 12 or 20 questions.

Tips and strategy

  • Read the short, thick hand first. It tells you the hour, and it sits part-way between two numbers when the minutes are not zero.
  • The long hand points at a number from 1 to 12. Multiply that number by 5 to get the minutes.
  • Wrong options often swap the two hands. Check which hand is the longer one before you tap.
  • When the long hand is past the 6, the hour hand is nearly at the next number, but the hour is still the one it has just passed.

FAQ

Why does the hour hand sit between numbers?
It moves smoothly as the minutes pass. At half past, it sits exactly halfway between two numbers.
Are the times 12-hour or 24-hour?
They are 12-hour times such as 4:05, because a plain clock face cannot tell morning from afternoon.
Does the daily set change?
Yes. A new set of eight clocks arrives every day at 00:00 UTC, the same for every player.
