Guess the NERDLE in 6 tries. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the solution. Rules: - Each guess is a calculation. - You can use 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - * / or =. - It must contain one “=”. - It must only have a number to the right of the “=”, not another calculation. - Standard order of operations applies, so calculate * and / before + and - - If the answer we're looking for is 10+20=30, then we will accept 20+10=30 too (unless you turn off 'commutative answers' in settings). https://faqs.nerdlegame.com/ Other games included: micro nerdle, mini nerdle, maxi nerdle, bi nerdle (two at once!), mini bi nerdle, instant, speed, crossnerdle (crosswords with numbers), shuffle and nanagrams. You can also replay previous games.
