Frequently Asked Questions#
How many Nerdle games are there?
Nerdle publishes Classic plus its shorter and longer variants — mini, midi, micro, maxi, speed and instant — and each one has its own hub and answer pages here.
Which Nerdle should I play first?
Classic is the original eight-character game. Micro and Mini use fewer squares; Maxi adds brackets and powers. Choose the format you want to learn rather than assuming a smaller grid will always be easier.
