NerdleDaily Math Equation Game: Find the Hidden Sum in Six

Nerdle hides one eight-character calculation, such as a sum with an equals sign, and gives you six attempts to find it. Every guess has to be a correct equation; tiles then turn green, purple or black to show which numbers and operators are in place, misplaced or absent. It's free to play in your browser, with one classic puzzle a day and no account needed. There is no unlimited mode, but past puzzles can be replayed from the archive.

How to play Nerdle

  1. Type a valid eight-character equation using digits, + - * / and one equals sign, then press Enter.
  2. Green tiles are in the right spot, purple ones are in the equation but elsewhere, black ones are not used.
  3. Multiplication and division are worked out before addition and subtraction, as in normal math.
  4. Use the clues to refine your next equation; you have six guesses in all.

Tips

  • Open with an equation that uses many different digits and two operators to rule out as much as possible.
  • The part after the equals sign is usually one to three digits long; figure out its length early.
  • Digits can repeat, so a lone green or purple tile does not mean that number appears only once.
