Yeardle
Guess the historical year from three events
Three events appear — a world event, a pop-culture moment, and a born-or-died. Guess the year they all share. Each wrong guess tells you how far off you are and in which direction.
Why Yeardle is a great Wordle alternative
Yeardle is a trivia game that tests general knowledge in the same daily-guess format Wordle popularized. If you enjoy TimeGuessr or Chronophoto, Yeardle sits right next to them on the shelf.
Our take“The three-event trick is smart: one hint is usually obvious, one is obscure, and the third is the trap. Hardest when the year is mid-century and all three clues are plausible across a 20-year range.”
- +Three independent clues feel fair
- +Directional feedback narrows fast
- +Teaches you history as you miss
- −Anglo-American event bias
- −One shot per day
you find history dry
