Timeline Sort

Put five historic events in the order they happened, oldest first. Three rounds a day, scored by how many events you place correctly.

How to play

  1. Each round shows five historic events in a random order. Arrange them from earliest to latest using the up and down arrows.
  2. Press Lock in when you are happy. Each event in its correct position scores a point.
  3. After locking in, every event shows its year so you learn the real order. Then move on to the next round.
  4. Three rounds make fifteen points in total. Share your score without spoiling the order.

Tips and strategy

  • Place the events you are sure about first, then slot the uncertain ones in between.
  • Look for clues in the event itself, such as technology, names or the language used.
  • Think in centuries before years. Even narrowing an event to a rough era narrows the order a lot.
  • Every event in the game has a different year, so there are never ties to worry about.

FAQ

Is there only one right order?
Yes. Every event has a different year, so each set of five has exactly one correct order.

No. You can rearrange as often as you like before you lock in.
When do new rounds appear?
The daily rounds change at 00:00 UTC. Practice mode gives unlimited extra sets.
