Put history in order before time gets scrambled.
How to play Timeline
Timeline is a daily history puzzle built around four real events. You place them in chronological order one at a time, with each choice narrowing the remaining options, until the whole sequence from earliest to latest is locked in.
- Read the four events shown for today's timeline.
- Choose which event happened first among the remaining options.
- Continue selecting the next event in order until none remain.
- After the last event, your score and the correct order appear.
Scoring
Your score reflects how many positions in the sequence you place correctly, scaled to a total out of 100. A fully correct order earns the full score for the day.
Tips
- Anchor on the event you are most confident about first, even if it is not first chronologically.
- Think in centuries before narrowing to exact decades.
- Technology and exploration milestones often give away their era through context.
- If two events feel close in time, place the one you know best more precisely.
FAQ
- Does everyone get the same Timeline events?
- Yes. The four events are generated from the game date and identical for every player that day.
- Can I replay Timeline?
- Your first completed attempt is saved as the daily result. A new scored timeline arrives at midnight US Eastern.
- Are the events always from the same era?
- No, the daily set can span centuries, which is part of what makes ordering them interesting.
- What happens if I place an event wrong?
- You can keep playing through the full sequence; a wrong placement just does not count toward your score.
