NerdleBuddy

Your October 1 Birthday Games 🎂

Every year since 2000 has its own NerdleBuddy puzzle for your October 1 birthday — 26 playable games and counting. See which vintage treats you best.

Your October 1 games by year

One game per year, 26 ready to play.

NerdleBuddy's daily games are our own Nerdle-style puzzles: each calendar date deterministically selects one of the 17,723 valid equations, going back to our first game on January 1, 2000. That gives every October 1 its own equation in every year — a little time capsule of puzzles. Every game comes with built-in hints and a comparison to optimal play. New here? Skim how to play and bring the strategy guide's best opener.

Not your birthday? October 1 works for any occasion — or look up a different date.
