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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nerdle at none against Logic Grid Puzzles's 11. Nerdle also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Logic Grid Puzzles's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (39K vs 199). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
