Have you considered an endless mode where you keep playing until you make a mistake?
The domain has been created on November 2024. Is this game inspired by the Trekking Through History boardgame [1] from 2022?

I would be interested in a game like this where you order all 8 events and then get scored (similar to wordle). And then try again to put them in the right order, fewest attempts scores better.
Slight spoiler alert: The last event it gave me was Ireland winning the Six Nations grand slam, which has in fact happened multiple times. In the event it didn't matter as the earliest time it happened was later than the next latest event but in another scenario I think it could have resulted in confusion and possibly a false negative. Or is it smart enough to know only to have an event like that where its place is not ambiguous?
I play Heardle (guess the song from the first seconds) and Chordle (guess the chord spelling). Don’t play Wordle anymore, I got tired of it.
But Ireland have won the Grand SLam 4 times so could appear in several postions
So not a good question.
As an American not into sports, the only Football question I think would be of such historical significance to match the rest on this list would be "US Holds First Superbowl" or something.
And as parochial as you think that American sports are, the USA has a population that is half again as big as the "Six Nations" that you intended. And here is an important fact. Most people in the world who speak English as their first language, live in the USA. The dominance of American perspectives in online conversations in English reflects our actual representation among native English speakers.
I've always laughed at these types of names. The Miss Universe pageant has always made wonder what Miss Andromeda would be like, and if her answers would also talk about whirled peas too.
I genuinely don't know. It's obviously a thing in Scotland (where I'm from) but is it a thing in other European countries?
That said, I also had no idea who Annie Hall was, but that was way easier to guess correctly than a random rugby tournament.

Extremely simple. No barrier to entry.

My girlfriend's first reaction after getting 30/36 and seeing the neutral smiley face emoji was, "Wordle doesn't judge me."

Probably a skill issue but that was my experience.

The point system is easier to explain if each unselected spot transform into a star that flies to the point counter.

I saw that it also made its way onto Metafilter - did you by any chance have anything to do with that?
gus_massa•7mo ago
Interesting. Can you share more technical details? Do you have for example a filter to avoid event of the same year?

No, it was not me.

Nothing in particular, but if in few months you have some time, it may be interesting to read a blog post with more details. There are many details that no one realize until they try to write the code and that is usually a good starting point for a good blog post.
(As an example, I thought about the "same year" rule. But you probably have a rule to try to balance military and sport events, and perhaps more...)

I have some experience crawling+processing Wikipedia dumps in python, if you ever find the need for a new sourcing system :) Email in bio!

Having very local/niche events (especially near the end, when there are lots of places to go wrong) makes it feel unballanced. If you wanted to make the game more strategic and less "gotcha," you might want to have all the events available at the same time, or have a "come back to this item" option that would allow the user more control.
On a related note, there are only about 40320 possible choice paths (8!), making it about as rich as tic-tac-toe (though the context certainly makes the player think more), far lower than something like Wordel's (26⁵)⁵. Adding more decisions might make people take more ownership of their wins.

Nice game, thanks!
