What is Nerdle?
Classic Nerdle hides a complete calculation rather than a word. Fill eight tiles with numbers, arithmetic symbols and an equals sign, then submit a mathematically correct equation. Green and purple tiles tell you which characters belong and where; black tiles help eliminate the rest. You have six guesses to identify the day's calculation. The official site also links to other Nerdle variants, but the classic board is the eight-character daily game.
How to play
- Enter an eight-character equation using the on-screen keys or your keyboard. Include one equals sign and a plain number on its right.
- Check the arithmetic before pressing Enter: multiplication and division are evaluated before addition and subtraction.
- Use green tiles to retain positions, purple tiles to move matching characters, and black tiles to reconsider characters or repeated copies.
- Submit revised equations until every tile is green or you have used all six guesses.
Why is a mathematically plausible guess rejected?
It must fit eight characters, contain one equals sign and have only a number to the right of that sign. Standard operation order still applies: multiply and divide before adding and subtracting. An equation that only works when read strictly left to right is not a valid guess.
What does black mean when a digit appears twice?
It can mean that you used too many copies, not that the digit is absent altogether. If the answer contains one copy and your guess contains two, one can receive a colored tile while the other is black. Read the repeated characters together.
Does swapping numbers around an operator count?
Commutative answers are accepted when everything else matches the target. Swapping the two addends in an otherwise matching addition is different from rewriting the whole calculation as another equation with the same result. A correct numerical result alone does not solve the board.
