Messages should work too. Just share it to somewhere which gives you the text - which includes the square emoticons which you can then copy and paste into here.

8. I didn't actually know there was a 6 character option. I got pretty lucky with my first guess today - it had 4 characters in the right place. That made the rest fairly easy.
It does take a bit of thinking about, I don't like it as much as Wordle but I'm doing it each day for now.

Mac76
07-02-2022, 03:15 PM
the 6-character version is under settings as 'mini-Nerdle'

i might give that a go first before trying the bigger one ...

Letters
07-02-2022, 03:28 PM
This is how I did it today:



32+46=78
10+48=58
50+48=98


The first row told me it was an addition between two 2 digit numbers which made a result which ended in 8
It couldn't be 1 and 7 because 7 isn't in the correct answer, same with 2 and 6 and 3 and 5. Could have been 4 and 4 or 0 and 8. (Could have been 9 and 9 but I couldn't make it work like that for reasons I now can't remember!)
Went with 0 and 8 and the second guess told me that 5 was in the wrong place - there's only one other place it could be and the rest was trivial

Mac76
07-02-2022, 05:02 PM
ok, using addition is easy than using multiplication whiich is what they do in their example.

i guess i can try that

:good:

Today's was quite easy, it's not always going to be an addition. There was quite a hard one over the weekend which had a division in.
It's quite good fun, bit of a different way of thinking from Wordle but it's similar in that you can rule stuff out which gets you to the right answer.

I got a 4 but yeah, I know what you mean. And I'm annoyed I didn't get a 3, the word I tried 3rd is much less common than the one than the actual answer.
The Nerdle was the same today. I got most of the pieces in place and the final 2 were pure guesswork, there was no way to work it out.
I saw a geeky video about Wordle which went in to the theory of the optimal way to play it and...TL;DR - it's not possible to do better than an average of between 3 and 4 guesses. Even if you play optimally you can't get enough information to narrow it down to a single possible word in 3, so anything better than a 4 has an element of luck to it.

i was thinking that 1 or 2 was pure luck but 3 was (depending on the word in question) a bit more skilful, i think it does depend

Letters
08-02-2022, 02:04 PM
I heard someone describe 4 as "par" and 3 as a "birdie". I reckon that's about right.
Often you get to something like:

XGGGG and the X could be multiple things like LIGHT, SIGHT, FIGHT etc. Then getting the right one is basically just luck.

except that a birdie isn't luck, it's good play - a hole in one even isn't pure luck - you still needed to play the shot in the right way - sure, the wind (if there is any) needs to be JUST right and the grass EXACTLY the right length etc but ultimately it's still often a bloody good shot, at least if it was a pro on a good course

I did know the word and got it a slightly annoying 4.
Annoying because after my first 2 guesses I did consider the eventual answer but then rejected it. So I used my 3rd guess as a throwaway one to eliminate letters. And that pointed me back to the answer.

If you run out of guesses doesn't it just tell you?

It was RUPEE - as in the Indian currency. Which is why I dismissed it, as I didn't think that would be it. My guesses were:
STARE - which gave me a yellow R and a green E.
DRONE - yellow R, green E.
Then I thought about it for a bit, considered RUPEE but thought that unlikely so I did
BLIMP - to eliminate some letters. I got a yellow P which pointed me back at RUPEE

Got today in 4 too which I'm content with given my first two guesses didn't give me much

In some ways I find Nerdle more fun because you have to work it out. And I'm more in to maths than English anyway.
I usually use the first couple to find/elimiate as many digits as I can, and it's important to find out where the equals goes. After that I'm usually on the right track. Often takes a bit of thinking about

Knickers. What a fall from grace! It was another one of those where the final letter could be multiple things. I didn't follow my own advice about doing a throwaway guess which revealed which. Partly because I couldn't think of a word, partly because there were only about 3 possibilities so I figured I'd get there.

I tend to use the first couple of guesses to get all the digits, so I start with something like 102-98=4.
You're then left with 3 and 5-7 to rule in/out and you've ruled in or out subtraction and one option for the equals sign.
I try and mop up the rest with the second guess and try another option for the = if the first was wrong.
You can usually get pretty close with the 3rd guess after that.

Mac76
29-03-2022, 01:15 PM

A 3 in Nerdle, might have got a 2 with a bit more luck but got 2 of the digits the wrong way around and there's no way of working that out.

just got in under the wire - it didn't help that my second guess used the same 'Y' letter in the same place - as did my third and fourth... :doh:

Here you go:


I went
PRIDE - yellow on the E
CLEAN - yellow in the E
BOUGH - not a sausage

After that there wasn't much left. I did think it might be something with two E's as I'd ruled out the other vowels by then. but stuff like LEVER had been ruled out.

Tbh my 4th guess was more in hope than expectation, I just hoped it would give me some more clues. Was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be the answer!

28-04-2022, 04:01 PM
