Thank you FarNorth. Numbers are definitely my thing.?
I tried it yesterday when you suggested it.

Just done both. I changed the setting and started with Mini Nerdle with 6 columns. Got that in 3.

Got Nerdle in 5 like you.

Boy that was tricky

I did it in 4!
8 squares.
My first go and I have dyscalculia.
Beginners’ luck of course ?

Well done, FC. ??

Can't do it. Am surprisingly successful at Sweardle though

Thank you FarNorth

Well done FC. I got it in 4 as well.

Why 3 pics? Don’t ask!

I cannot get my head round this. Could someone please explain, what I am supposed to do? I suspect I may be over thinking this.

Yours Sincerely,

#Confused of Glasgow!

My first one, Yeah

Oh Miss Marydoll, I hope this helps

Red symbolises a correct number in the wrong place
Green is a correct number in the right place
Black is a number that does not appear in the sum

Mary you make up a sum using the blocks for each character. The mini one has 6 characters so could be 4+6=10.
Then the colours tell you right character and right place like Wordl. You can should be able to work out what the equation of the day is. Maths rules apply.
The question mark symbol has more info and settings gets you to the mini version which might be the better place to start. It was for me.
Hope this makes sense. Good luck.

Click on the question mark at top of the Nerdle page to see the rules.

Thanks all, I had worked out the colours part, but as usual, I was looking for something much more complicated. . I do it all the time! It was driving me to distraction!!

On a lighter note, and tongue in cheek, the maths "pedant" in me (remember Miss Marydoll's Maths Class thread) squirms at the use of the term sum. Sum means add The correct word is calculation , which we hammered into the weans (and teachers) on a daily basis.
By the way, what is the maths equivalent of a pedant? Suggestions on a postcard, please.

Thanks again, Far North.

Cracked it, thank you all!!! ? Onward and upwards.

Miss Marydoll ?. Please Miss, I’ve done it in 4 too. Does that mean I go to the top of the class. ?

Er - do I only get one go a day like Wordle??
Have just completed the 'easy' version in 4, while I get the hang of it. Not really a 'numbers' person, so a bit of a struggle thus far...

Yes ixion only one a day so no excuse for you to miss cleaning the Argy toilets ?

OK Doodle.
I shall up my game to the Big Girls' 8 column version.

That will guarantee that I am otherwise engaged.
I've graduated from practical to, er, cerebral challenges, now, I have to tell you.
Toilets can wait...

Doodle

*Miss Marydoll* ?. Please Miss, I’ve done it in 4 too. Does that mean I go to the top of the class. ?

Well done Doodle, one of my favourite pupils! I hope you will continue to be on your best behaviour, I am still having nightmares about the maths class!
I may have to contact Miss Charleygirl.

Apologies Miss Marydoll. It’s a long time since I was in a Maths class. ( 1974 A Level Further Maths) . I’ll remember to call it a calculation next time ??

Go to the top of the class, Aly. ?

To be honest, when I was sitting my Scottish Higher Maths exam, it was also called a sum.
Before I retired there was a drive to encourage staff and pupils to use the appropriate maths vocabulary. There were dire consequences if you didn't do that!

I didn't have much of a numbers inclination at school, much to my mathematician father's disappointment.
He was very insistent that I wasn't ever dealing with Maths homework- it was just 'sums'!

Steady on ixion.
Be kind to her Miss Doodle. ixion might have to cope with a share or times tomorrow ?. Those lavs could have to wait.

I'm quite fond of a challenging equation so easing myself gently into Nerdle. Mini Nerdle first and then the big one because I suspect the multiplication and division will be lurking soon.
