Are you into sums? Nerdle is for you.

It's similar to Wordle, but with numbers composed into sums.
You can choose an 'easier' mode with 6 squares across instead of 8. Best of luck smile

Hurray! ?
I got so excited I did a little Kermit flail and knocked my glasses off!
Thank you nadateturbe and Alygran! ? nerdlegame 25 5/6

Thanks FC for what you said at 03.34. . Without that it would have taken me at least one more row. That was BH!

Had to remember Marydoll's mafs lessuns!!!

So many clues in my first line, particularly knowing what the = was.
After a couple of 'doesn't compute' I used a tip I gave my year 6 when teaching.

FannyCornforth Sun 13-Feb-22 11:42:11

Wow! Well done muse! ?

FannyCornforth Sun 13-Feb-22 11:43:11

I’m sooo glad that I’ve never really had to teach KS2 maths!

nadateturbe Sun 13-Feb-22 12:05:05

Fantastic muse

nadateturbe Sun 13-Feb-22 12:16:52

Muse I was scrolling back to find something on BODMAS and realised I hadn't acknowledged your tips on clipboard so belated thanks.

TillyTrotter Sun 13-Feb-22 14:13:12

I have no idea what BODMAS is and is probably the reason I failed today ☹️
Excellent muse

kittylester Sun 13-Feb-22 14:54:29

My children call it BIDMAS

Marydoll Sun 13-Feb-22 15:09:24

BODMAS

muse Sun 13-Feb-22 16:36:12

Many thanks. Knowing what the equation was going to equal helped hugely. That and only have a few numbers left to come up with the calculation.

Nerdle and my calculator did the BODMAS (checking) bit.

? Now you have it Nerdlers. I have owned up to using a calculator to check my calculations before committing to the enter button. Pen and paper help too. Standard calculators are allowed in exams so I don't feel too guilty ? .

TillyTrotter Sun 13-Feb-22 17:34:02

I had paper and a pencil so that if inspiration hit me I could write it down,
While I am back-spacing to erase a part-done row and I could forget the new numbers to type IYKWIM ?

kittylester Sun 13-Feb-22 20:35:22

Apparently their version in Indices not Order

TillyTrotter Mon 14-Feb-22 13:22:58

So you should be Maggie . I feel like I should have got it on the 3rd, but I needed to have switched 2 numbers.

Doodle that is very clever! ?
Well done Maggie! ?
I started it earlier, and predictably got my knickers in a twist.
Might go back to it later.
Don’t hold your breath though!
