Daydle

Daydle is a guessing game built on the idea of this day in history, made by a developer who signs it renard, with its facts taken from Wikipedia. Each day it shows one event that happened on the current calendar date in some past year, such as a treaty signed, a law passed or a famous fight, and you type the four-digit year you think it happened.

After each wrong guess you get two kinds of help. A hint names a real event from the year you typed and tells you whether the day's event came before or after it, so the clue is a small history lesson of its own. The digits also change colour from left to right: a correct digit is marked, a digit one away from the answer is marked as almost, and the first wrong digit stops the check, so the digits after it are left unknown. Digits you have already got right are filled in on the next row for you. Get all four digits in six tries to win.

A hard mode turns off the almost colour, and there are dark and colourblind modes. Your stats keep a streak, games won and average guesses, and the share text gives your digit grid without the answer.

It suits players who like Yeardle or Timeswipe but want one event and a number puzzle on top, where reading the digit colours matters as much as knowing the history.
