Named occasions have their own collections: browse puzzles by holiday for the ones that move each year — Easter and Thanksgiving have no fixed month and day, so they cannot be reached from this picker.

How Day Pages Work#
Our daily games are Nerdle-style puzzles of our own: each calendar date deterministically selects one of 17,723 modelled equations, going all the way back to our first game on 1 January 2000. Your birthday in 2007 has a different equation than your birthday in 2019. One day of the year gives you a whole personal collection — one puzzle per year, each with a computed difficulty rating.
Every game comes with our built-in hints, and after you solve it you’ll see how your path compares with our verified strategy. New to the game? Skim how to play first, or bring the strategy guide’s best opener with you.
Frequently Asked Questions#
What is a NerdleBuddy birthday game?
Every calendar date since 1 January 2000 has its own unique NerdleBuddy puzzle. Your birthday games are the puzzles for your birth date in each year — one per year, each with a different equation.
Are these official Nerdle puzzles?
No — they are NerdleBuddy originals. The official Nerdle game at nerdlegame.com launched in January 2022 and publishes one puzzle per day. NerdleBuddy's archive assigns our own Nerdle-style puzzle to every date back to 2000, with built-in hints and unlimited replay.
What if my birthday is February 29?
Leap-day birthdays get a game only in leap years (2000, 2004, 2008, and so on). The day page calculates the available years from the current date automatically.
Can I play a day's game from a year that hasn't happened yet?
This year's game unlocks on the day itself (dates roll over at midnight UTC). Until then the day page lists every year up to the most recent one that has arrived.
