The Daily First

How To Play

A reader's guide to Historic Firsts

Six historic firsts land in your deck each day. Your charge: arrange them along the timeline from the earliest to the most recent.

Editor's Note

A “first” is a landmark invention, discovery, or milestone — like the first powered flight or the first person on the Moon. Each card is dated by the year it happened.

Rules of the Game
  1. Drag a card from your deck into a slot — oldest on the top left, newest on the bottom right.
  2. Flip the card to learn more about it.
  3. Press Submit to lock in your order.
  4. Cards in the right spot lock in place; the rest return to your deck to sort again.
  5. You are granted three tries a day. Three wrong submissions and the edition closes until tomorrow.

A fresh edition is published every day.
