Daydle
Every day brings an event that happened on today's date in some year. Daydle asks you to find that year, with six tries and a hint about whether to go earlier or later.

A historical event from today's date is shown.
- Guess a year
Type four digits.
- Read the hint
A hint tells you whether the event was before or after your guess.
- Check the digits
Digits turn correct, almost (off by one) or incorrect. Checking stops at the first incorrect digit.
