Today's timeline
The daily Timdle is nine historical events on one shared timeline. One of them is already pinned to get you started, and you place the other eight yourself, earliest to latest, one at a time. Everyone who plays today gets the same nine events, so the score is directly comparable.
Events span the whole of recorded history and every part of the world, so knowing the exact year is rarely the point: what the game trains is the instinct for what came before what. Each placement is checked immediately, and the run ends when the last event is on the line. A new timeline drops at midnight in your own timezone.
