Games Like Nerdle
Nerdle proved that the daily-puzzle habit works just as well with numbers as with words: a hidden equation, a handful of guesses, and colour clues that turn arithmetic into deduction. If you like puzzles where the answer is a matter of logic rather than luck, this collection is your kind of maths. The centrepiece is a daily equation-guessing game — crack the hidden sum in six tries using standard order of operations — surrounded by other number and logic puzzles that reward the same careful thinking. Fill a Sudoku grid without a contradiction, slide tiles to build ever-bigger numbers, crack a secret code, or push your recall in a number-memory test. Every one is free, runs instantly with no download or account, and the daily puzzle keeps a streak in your browser to bring you back tomorrow. Whether you want a strict logic grind or a quick numbers warm-up, there is a puzzle here that adds up. Start with the daily equation below and branch out from there.
