January 2026 Nerdle Stats

The permanent NerdleBuddy puzzle record for this month, computed the moment it ended: every daily puzzle counted, the difficulty distribution, and the hardest day — safely in the past now that the month is over. A companion Nerdle Classic (Official) section adds verified counts and difficulty for the same month, sourced from Nerdle's own published Classic answer pages.

How These Numbers Are Made#

Every figure on this page is computed from data NerdleBuddy already publishes: the daily archive's date-to-puzzle assignment and percentile difficulty, and the committed solver artefacts behind the strategy guide. Nothing here comes from Nerdle's own official answer history. The methodology page has the full write-up of how the dataset, difficulty scale, and solver strategy are built.

Nerdle Classic (Official) figures are different: they aggregate only rows already verified against Nerdle's own published Classic answer pages, read from our stored archive. This page never fetches Nerdle's site itself, and a period with no verified rows says so plainly instead of estimating one.
