Rewind Archive: every past guess-the-year puzzle

Rewind Archive

Every past Rewind puzzle on a calendar: catch up on the days you missed without touching your streak. The last 7 days are free, and every day’s answers are on its answer page.

How to play Rewind

Five real photos from history: flight and space, cities, travel, technology and Earth from above. When was each one taken?

  1. Look closely. Tap the photo to zoom in and hunt for clues.
  2. Slide the timeline to the year, then lock it in.
  3. The exact year scores 200. You lose 8 points for every year off.

Your result squares: 🟩 within 2 years, 🟨 within 8, 🟧 within 15, 🟥 further off.

Every photo is public domain or CC0, from collections such as NASA, the Library of Congress and the US and Dutch National Archives. Every year comes from a dated record (the archive’s own, or the mission or event date), never an upload or scan date. After each guess you see the photo’s story and where it came from.

New photos every day at midnight. Share your score or challenge a friend!
