Is there a daily history puzzle game like Wordle?
Yes. Sorting History's Daily Challenge is a Wordle-style history puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Once a day, every player worldwide gets the same 5 historical events from a surprise category and puts them in chronological order, usually in under 2 minutes. You can share a spoiler-free result card, build a daily streak, and protect it with streak freezes (1 a month on the free tier, 2 on Explorer, 3 on Historian). The Daily Challenge is free on every tier. If you prefer to play in a browser, Timdle and Chronle are free daily timeline puzzles on the web.
