Games like Nerdle
Nerdle took Wordle's colored-tile logic and swapped letters for numbers: guess a hidden equation in six tries, with the tiles showing which digits and operators sit in the right spot. If that daily math fix is your thing, here are the best games like Nerdle, from equation guessers to number-cracking and math grids. Every one is free and resets each day. For the whole set, our directory lists 39 math games and 1000+ daily games in total.
Guess or build the equation
Crack a hidden calculation or build one to a shown target, with color-coded tiles guiding each guess, in the Nerdle and Mathler style.
Guess a number or code
No equation to build, just a mystery number or code to pin down from the game's feedback.
Math grids and logic
Numbers as a logic puzzle: sum each row and column to its target, or fit values into cages using the four operations.
Frequently asked
What is the best game like Nerdle?
Mathler is the closest: instead of guessing a full equation, you build one that reaches a target number. Summle, Numble, and Calcle are other strong daily equation guessers that use the same colored-tile feedback.
Are there number games without equations?
Yes. Numberle and Primel hide a mystery number you crack from color-coded tile feedback, and Padlock has you break a four-digit code.
Do I need to be good at math?
Basic arithmetic is enough for most of them. The tile hints do a lot of the work, so these reward logic and elimination more than advanced math.
Are these games free?
Yes. Every game here is free to play in your browser, and each one sets a new puzzle daily.
