## What is Whensly?

A new puzzle every day. Place real historical moments in the exact order they happened — and see how sharp your timeline really is.

One daily round. Build a streak. Beat the clock in Lightning Round. Compare your Score on Game Center leaderboards.

Packs: USA 250 (250 moments of American history for the nation's 250th), Sports, Soccer, History, Movies, TV, Technology, Stock Car Racing, and Pro Football — all free.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Each day, place a handful of real moments on the timeline in the order they happened.
• Every date is hand-verified against primary sources — no fuzzy "circa," no wrong answers.

• Keep a daily streak alive and climb the Game Center leaderboards.
• Lightning Round: race the clock to place as many as you can.

### 5/5 — So Much Fun!

*2026-07-19*

This is a very interesting and challenging puzzle game. It’s harder than you might expect. I keep coming back to play every day!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much — "harder than you'd expect" is exactly what I'm going for, and knowing you play every day makes the solo effort worth it. Game Center leaderboards just went live if you want to compete. Thanks for playing! — Mike

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8 — 2026-08-12

Scores can now go below zero. Every exact-year bullseye takes five seconds off, so a fast, accurate run can finish under 0.00 - and there's a new achievement, The Eggert, for anyone who manages it.

Pro Football is now free. The pack list is also reordered to match what people actually play.

Under the hood: screenshot and debug runs no longer post scores to the leaderboards, and a content-seeding fix keeps over-the-air moment updates from being dropped.

### 1.7 — 2026-08-09

Choose how your timeline looks. Classic keeps your moments in a row that wraps down the screen. Stacked gives each one its own line and spells out the years every gap falls between. Settings, Stats, Tip and Help now sit at the top of the home screen, so nothing is buried.

The result screen puts your streak and the reason to come back where you can actually see them, and sharing now leads with your result.

Whensly+ names what you have actually run into — the archive, or a streak worth protecting — instead of a general appeal.

Plus 90 new moments across Stock Car Racing and Movies, and 91 duplicates cleared out.

### 1.6 — 2026-07-30

NEW: Streak Shield. Miss a day and save your streak - Whensly+ members are protected automatically, and everyone gets one free repair each month by watching a short ad. A 2+ day miss still resets, so streaks stay honest.

NEW: Support Whensly. An optional tip jar on the result screen for players who want to chip in. Tips unlock nothing - the game stays free for everyone.

A denser result screen: your score, streak, and actions now fit without scrolling.

"Play today's puzzle" now lands on the pack page first, so you can read the Moment of the Day before the clock starts.

Fact fixes and polish across the packs.

### 1.5 — 2026-07-19

New: USA 250 — a pack with 250 American-history moments, 1776 to today, for the nation's 250th anniversary.

Also in this update:
- Total Score: each daily now shows one Score you can compare day to day.
- Exact-year bullseyes pay off more.
- New Game Center leaderboards for Best Daily Score, Most Bullseyes, and Most Puzzles Solved — including one for USA 250.
- 36 new Movies moments.
- A cleaner, denser look now that there are 9 packs.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-07-10

• Fixed: Whensly+ purchases could appear stuck — you'll now see a clear message if a purchase doesn't go through, and a spinner while it's processing.
• Fairer dailies and Lightning Round: no two moments about the same person, and quick taps no longer misfire.
• Re-share your daily result any time that day.
• Content accuracy fixes across every pack.
