Nerdle

What is Nerdle?

Numbers don’t lie—but they can definitely hide.

Nerdle is a daily puzzle where instead of guessing a word, you’re trying to uncover a hidden mathematical equation. Every guess must be a valid calculation, and every result gives you color-coded feedback to guide your next move.

It’s logic, arithmetic, and pattern recognition fused into one. You’re not just solving math—you’re reverse-engineering a hidden structure where every symbol matters.

Nerdle Game Rules

• 🔢 You MUST guess a valid mathematical equation (e.g., 8+4=12).
• ➗ Equations must follow correct order of operations.
• 🎯 You have 6 guesses to find the exact equation.
• 🎨 Feedback system: 🟩 Correct number/operator in the correct position
• 🟪 Correct number/operator but in the wrong position
• ⬛ Not in the equation
• 8 is correct and in place
• is not used
• 4 exists but in wrong position
• = is correct
