Yeardle is a New Wordle Clone All About History
Popular word-guessing game Wordle has inspired a host of clones and competitors, so much so that there’s actually a website dedicated entirely to keeping track of every Wordle spin-off game. Addictive and challenging, the New York Times-owned browser-based game serves as a daily brain-teaser that’s had players brushing up on their vocabularies since it rose to popularity in January 2022. However, Yeardle, a new variant of the game, does away with words entirely, instead asking players to think back to their high school history courses.
Yeardle provides players with three historical events and tasks them with deciphering the exact year in which they occurred.

Guesses more than 200 years off appear as gray, while guesses between 40 and 200 years off appear as brown. More accurate guesses show up as red, orange, and yellow, with green used to indicate a correct answer.
