đ¯ What is Chronophoto?
Chronophoto is the daily historical-photo guessing game from chronophoto.app. Each day the puzzle drops a real photograph â usually a vintage scene, an old advertisement, a historical moment, or a slice of everyday life from decades past â and asks you to guess what year the photo was taken.
The format is similar to Chronophoto's sister sites (Guess The Country, Sort The Countries, Name The Countries) and shares the same color-coded feedback as Wordle. Your guess reveals how close you are â closer years score better â and you have a limited number of attempts to land on the right decade.
đĄ How to Play Chronophoto
- Open chronophoto.app/daily.html to see today's photograph and the prompt: "What year was this photo taken?"
- Study the photo. Clothing, hairstyles, vehicles, technology, signage, and architecture are the main era clues.
- Type a four-digit year into the input and submit. Chronophoto accepts any year from the camera era onward.
- Read the color feedback. Green tiles mean you're spot on or very close; yellow or orange tiles mean you need to push in a different direction; gray tiles mean you've passed the target.
- Use the on-screen arrows to triangulate. Chronophoto usually tells you whether to go earlier or later with each guess.
- Solve the year within the attempt limit and a shareable score card appears. Streaks save to your browser and an Unlimited mode is available for practice.
