Timdle

What is Timdle?

Timdle turns history into a high-stakes timeline battle: every day you’re handed 8 real historical events and must drag them into the exact chronological order on a growing timeline. One key event is already locked in place to give you a fighting chance.

The twist that keeps players hooked? Each placement is permanent once correct, but every wrong drag costs you precious points on that event’s score. It’s strategic, educational, and surprisingly tense — because nothing stings like realizing you put the fall of Rome after the invention of the printing press.

Timdle Game Rules

• You MUST place all 8 events into the correct chronological order by dragging cards onto the timeline.
• One event is pre-placed as your anchor point.
• You place events one by one — you CANNOT move on until the current event is placed correctly.
• Drag a card to any open “before” or “after” dot on the current timeline.
• Correct placement locks the card and awards full points for that step (1 point for the first placement, 2 for the second, up to 8 for the last).
• Wrong placement bounces the card back and deducts 1 point from that event’s maximum score.
• You CANNOT skip events or rearrange locked cards — the timeline grows strictly in order of your successful placements.
• Daily puzzle resets every 24 hours with a fresh set of events.

Strategy & Tips

• Start with the events you know the strongest dates for — they give you big early points and anchor the timeline fast.
• Use rough eras first (Ancient, Medieval, Modern) to eliminate half the possibilities instantly.
• Pay attention to cause-and-effect clues in the event descriptions — wars often follow treaties, inventions follow discoveries.
• When stuck between two close events, think “which one logically had to happen first?”
• Play the community timelines between dailies to train your brain on different eras and topics.
