Anchor day

Find the correct anchor day for a given century



How to play:

Each century is linked with a specific Anchor day. Since the calendar loops around every 400 years, there are only 4 anchor days that you need to memorise. The easiest is to start with the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd centuries, and extrapolate from these if needed.
