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

I persevered too Maggiemaybe.
?Finally got that third line like you.

Pittcity Thu 03-Feb-22 09:23:02

Phew. I was talking to myself through that one.

FannyCornforth Thu 03-Feb-22 10:12:26

Flummoxed again ?

MiniMoon Thu 03-Feb-22 10:23:46

Did the mini one yesterday. I solved it into tries. Was it easy, or am I just lucky.
I'll have to try the harder one and see how I get on.

MiniMoon Thu 03-Feb-22 10:24:39

In two tries.

Well done Miss Marydoll I did it in 5 goes too. Does that mean I can go and play behind the bike sheds now grin

The thing I like about Nerdle is that you actually don’t have to be any good at maths at all, because I am hopeless.

I have done the mini one today again and did it two, maybe I should be braver and go for the bigger 8.

mokryna Thu 03-Feb-22 15:42:32

I am having problems playing the 8 Nerdle. This is not a spoiler, just me messing about but I don’t understand I am hopeless at maths.
It won’t accept this calculation 19-9/2=5

Marydoll Thu 03-Feb-22 15:59:21

It won't accept it because / means divide, so your calculation would be: (19-9)÷9=5, as the answer is a decimal and incorrect, Nerdle won't accept it.

Perhaps the Bodmas rule would help you.

FarNorth Thu 03-Feb-22 15:59:35

mokryna it will do multiplying or dividing, before it does adding it subtraction.
So, your sum is telling it to divide 9 by 2 and then subtract that from 19.

FarNorth Thu 03-Feb-22 16:01:07

*adding or subtraction.

Marydoll Thu 03-Feb-22 16:03:23

or 19-(9÷9)=5

I have totally confused myself now. blush. Why are you laughing, Doodle?

Marydoll Thu 03-Feb-22 16:05:20

Just ignore me!

Marydoll Thu 03-Feb-22 16:10:29

My excuse is that I am very rusty and not really been paying attention!!!!

This is what I meant to type.

19-(9÷2) =14.5 not =5 I think. Off to lie down and think of ways to redeem myself

FannyCornforth Thu 03-Feb-22 16:31:37

No more Nerdle for me.
It’s too confusing, and I’m too mathematically daft

mokryna Thu 03-Feb-22 17:04:47

Oh my goodness. I cannot remember a single thing. Count me out … although I might still try confused

Doodle Thu 03-Feb-22 17:10:04

Fanny I never was any good at math in any way but I can do Nerdle. Have another go. In my first line I use both the * and / symbol and if they both come back black then I know they don’t feature in the answer so I can just use the plus and minus symbols. Have a go at the mini Nerdle first. I had a couple of goes at that before I tackled the 8 square one. I have managed to do the last three days 8 square one and I am someone who counts on my fingers. So if I can do it, anyone can.

mokryna Thu 03-Feb-22 17:15:03

2nd line there are 4 green. How did I do that?

nadateturbe Thu 03-Feb-22 17:15:59

Got it in four. smile
I would share if I knew where my clipboard is confused

nadateturbe Thu 03-Feb-22 17:22:01

the 8 square one

mokryna Thu 03-Feb-22 17:29:56

Now 4th line: 5 green 2 pink But I still muddled.

FarNorth Thu 03-Feb-22 17:33:32

You must be nearly there mokryna.

Marydoll Thu 03-Feb-22 17:35:13

mokryna

Now 4th line: 5 green 2 pink But I still muddled.

Well done. You are making progress. Dont give up.

mokryna Thu 03-Feb-22 17:36:35

I have done it but I still don’t understand how

mokryna Thu 03-Feb-22 17:40:15
