What Mini Nerdle Is#

Mini Nerdle hides an equation of exactly 6 characters and gives you 6 guesses.

Only digits, + − * / and one equals sign appear, so the arithmetic is simpler than Classic's — the difficulty is in how few characters there are to work with, not in the maths. The variants guide compares every grid; the other verified sizes are Micro Nerdle answers and Midi Nerdle answers and Maxi Nerdle answers and Speed Nerdle answers and Instant Nerdle answers.

Mini's Two Answer Shapes#

Mini uses six characters and six guesses. Copy all six tile colours from your game, including the equals sign. Repeated characters use up available matches: a grey copy can coexist with another green or purple copy.

Enter a six-character Mini Nerdle guess and copy its tile colours. Narrow down the modelled answers and compare useful next guesses.

Strategy for Mini Nerdle#

Use each row to test plausible digits and operators. A grey duplicate rules out an extra copy, so keep any green or purple copies.
