Built a daily game where you sort historical events chronologically
Hey folks, I built Hisorty, a small daily game where you sort historical events in chronological order (strongly inspired by Wordle mechanics). Each day you get 6 events and 3 attempts to place them correctly. I found it surprisingly tricky to design those puzzles so the difficulty is just about right. Would love feedback on: - difficulty balance - UI/UX - whether the concept feels engaging long-term Happy to answer any questions about how I built it.

In plain words
Hisorty is a daily puzzle game where players arrange six historical events in the correct chronological order within three attempts. Inspired by Wordle's format, it presents a new puzzle each day. The game is designed for history enthusiasts and casual puzzle players seeking a brief, engaging daily challenge that tests their knowledge of when significant events occurred.

I've been playing Wordle and remembered this puzzle game I used to play with my grandfather. It's inspired by the block puzzles in many newspapers but made to be shorter: just guess the nine letter word. So I made a quick thing to play with my family like we used to. I thought you guys might enjoy it.
