Mathdle
Combine six numbers to hit the target.
Mathdle is a daily numbers puzzle where you combine six smaller numbers to hit a single target value. You chain the numbers together with add, subtract, multiply and divide until you land on the target. There is a new Mathdle every day.
What is Mathdle?
The core loop follows the Countdown numbers round rather than a Wordle-style guessing grid. Each day you are given six smaller numbers and one target number. You pick a number, choose an operator (plus, minus, multiply or divide), then pick a second number, and the two combine into a single new value. For example, 100 multiply 7 makes 700. You keep chaining combinations from the numbers you have until you reach the target. You do not have to use all six numbers, and solving with fewer of them is encouraged.
What sets Mathdle apart from many Wordle-style math games is that it is open-ended. Games like Mathler and Nerdle hide one fixed equation and give you green, yellow and grey tile feedback across a limited number of guesses. Mathdle has no fixed-guess limit and no tile grid. Instead you build freely toward the target, and your result is timed so that faster solves earn a higher rating.
The difficulty is set by the calendar rather than chosen from a menu. Monday and Tuesday are Easy, Wednesday is Medium, Thursday and Friday are Hard, Saturday is Very hard, and Sunday is a Fun mode with a quirky twist. So the puzzle you get depends on the day you play.
Your solve is scored by speed. The result is timed, and faster solutions earn more stars, up to five. A Share button lets you post your result, and a Hint feature is available if you get stuck. The site does not state a launch year, an exact daily reset time, or a visible archive of past puzzles, so what you get is a clean daily numbers round: read the target, chain the six numbers toward it, and try to do it fast.
How to play Mathdle
- Open Mathdle at mathdle.app. The day of the week sets the difficulty, from Easy early in the week up to Very hard on Saturday and a Fun twist on Sunday.
- Read the target number and the six smaller numbers you have to work with.
- Pick a number, choose an operator (plus, minus, multiply or divide), then pick a second number to combine them into a new value.
- Keep chaining combinations until one of your results equals the target.
- Solve as quickly as you can, since your star rating depends on your time, and use Hint if you get stuck.
- Tap Share when you finish to post your result.
Tips and strategy
- Work backward from the target when you can. Ask what number multiplied or added would land you on it, then build toward that.
- Look for factors of the target early. If the target divides cleanly by one of your numbers, multiplication is often the fastest route.
- You do not need to use all six numbers, and solving with fewer is encouraged, so stop as soon as you hit the target.
- Multiply large numbers together first to get into the target's range, then fine-tune with addition and subtraction.
- Watch the clock, since faster solves earn more stars. Commit to a promising line rather than second-guessing.
- Save the Hint feature for the harder days later in the week, and try the Sunday Fun mode when it comes around for a change of pace.
