The most recent brainteaser, Nerdle, is popular among those who are wanting a numerical rendition of the viral smash game Wordle.

When his daughter, who is 14 years old, expressed a need for a Wordle for "maths nerds," British data scientist Richard Mann from London created the numbers version of the popular puzzle game.

People are sharing their Nerdle results on Twitter, just like they do with Wordle, since it first appeared last month.

The New York Times just purchased Wordle from British software engineer Josh Wardle for a seven-figure price.

Nerdle: what is it?
Mr. Mann calls it a "Wordle counterpart for math lovers."

By figuring out the "word" that fits the eight tiles, the goal of the game is to guess the Nerdle in six tries.

To indicate how close your guess is to the correct response after each guess, the color of the tiles will change. Green denotes accuracy and proper placement of the number. It is in the solution but in the incorrect location if it is purple. If it's black, it's not in the word.

What guidelines does Nerdle follow?
There are 8 "letters" in total.
One of 0123456789+-*/= is considered a "letter."
A "word" must contain a mathematically sound calculation, hence it must begin with a "="
There is only a number to the right of the "="
Calculate * and / before + and - since the usual order of operations is applicable. If 10 + 20 = 30, then 20 + 10 = 30 isn't close enough.
