Nerdle

Nerdle is like a word puzzle but with numbers: the answer is a calculation, not a word. After each guess, the tiles change colour to show how close you were.

How to play

  1. 01

    Enter a calculation

    Each guess must be a valid calculation using 0-9, +, -, *, / and exactly one '='.

  2. 02

    Keep the answer simple

    Only a number can go to the right of the '=', not another calculation.

  3. 03

    Read the tiles

    Tiles show whether each character is in the right spot, in the solution but in the wrong spot, or not in the solution at all.

  4. 04

    Solve in six

    Use the clues to find the hidden calculation within six guesses.

Good to know

  • Order of operations. Standard order applies, so * and / are worked out before + and -, meaning 3+2*5=13.
  • Commutative answers. If the answer is 10+20=30, then 20+10=30 is accepted too, unless you turn this off in Settings.
  • Other sizes. Variants include mini (six tiles), micro (five tiles), maxi, speed and instant.
