The phrase "all sixes and sevens" is believed to have originated from a confusion in the numbering system used in dice games, where the outcome of throwing dice could lead to chaotic situations. It gained prominence in the 14th century, particularly through its use in literature, such as in Geoffrey Chaucer's works. The saying conveys a sense of disorder or confusion, suggesting that things are not in their proper place or are disorganized.
