Which Year: use a digit hint to resolve a real dating question

Why play Which Year?

Which Year focuses entirely on dating photographs. The inspected Daily Challenge has five rounds, four digit fields and a displayed 1850–2025 range. Points depend on how close the submitted year is to the answer; there is no map-pin task in this entry.

Its distinctive aid is Reveal Digit. The instructions say a digit can be revealed without a point penalty, but each digit position can only be revealed once per game. That makes the hint a shared resource across the session rather than something to assume is endlessly reusable.

How does Which Year work?

A digit hint narrows different kinds of uncertainty depending on its position. A century digit settles a broad era, while a final digit helps only after you have a plausible decade. Use the picture first so the hint resolves a specific question rather than replacing observation.

How do you play Which Year?

1. Inspect the current photo for objects that narrow its period.
2. Enter the four-digit year, using an available digit reveal when it resolves a real uncertainty.
3. Submit and review the answer before continuing through five rounds.

How can you improve at Which Year?

1. Build a time interval

   Use clothing, vehicles and image technology to set approximate bounds before selecting a year. This reduces random precision.

2. Reveal the uncertain position

   Choose a digit that separates your plausible alternatives. The final digit has little value when the decade itself is unknown.

3. Save a hint for later

   Because digit positions are limited across the game, an easy image may be worth solving without a reveal.
