Books of the Bible Blitz
Put the books in order before your mind goes blank.
A handful of Bible books, shuffled. Drop them into canonical order — Genesis to Revelation — and beat your best.
How to play
Look over the shuffled books — each round pulls a fresh handful from the sixty-six.
Place them left to right in the order they appear in the Bible.
Submit once to check the whole arrangement; each slot shows green or red.
Study your misses — tomorrow’s set will test a different stretch of the canon.

Tips & strategy
Learn the section anchors
The canon breaks into blocks: Law, History, Wisdom, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets — then Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, General letters, Revelation. Placing a book in its block first makes exact ordering far easier.
Paul’s letters run long to short
Romans through Philemon are roughly ordered by length, church letters before personal ones. When two epistles feel interchangeable, the longer one almost always comes first.
Sing it if you have to
Generations of Sunday-schoolers learned the books as a song for a reason. If you know one, hum it — rhythm retrieves order faster than raw recall.
Scripture Spotlight
Sixty-six books, one story
The order of the books isn’t random — it groups Law, History, Wisdom, and Prophecy in the Old Testament, then Gospels, church history, and letters in the New. Knowing that architecture turns the Bible from a wall of names into a map you can navigate: you know where you are, and what kind of writing you’re standing in.
There’s a practical payoff too. Whether you’re finding a passage mid-sermon or guiding a kid through their first Bible, knowing that Habakkuk lives near the end of the Old Testament — and Titus near the end of Paul — saves you the table of contents every time.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
2 Timothy 3:16
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105
Good to know
Does the game use the Protestant canon order?
Yes — the sixty-six-book Protestant ordering, Genesis through Revelation, which is the order printed in most English Bibles.
Do I have to know all sixty-six books to play?
No — each round only asks you to order a small set. Even if you only know the big landmarks, you can reason most rounds out, and the corrections teach you the rest.
Is it the same puzzle for everyone each day?
Yes. A new selection of books is published daily at midnight UTC for all players.
