[Letterle](https://edjefferson.com/letterle/): one letter

thanks I hate it
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by jedberg on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @01:40PM (#30262532)
Don't forget [lewdle](https://www.lewdlegame.com), wordle but with only dirty words.

And [mathler](https://www.mathler.com) which is the same as OP

Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by culi on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @01:44PM (#30262601)
Thank you for preformatting :P Mathler seems a little less chaotic. I think I could actually enjoy nerdle if it had some limitation on one of the many variables to account for. Mathler seems to do exactly that
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by jedberg on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @01:48PM (#30262643)
Yeah after I wrote that I realized that on this one you have to solve for both the left and right size of the equation, whereas mathler tells you right right side. I think I prefer mathler for this reason.

My favorite so far is Dordle https://zaratustra.itch.io/dordle
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by culi on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @01:52PM (#30262720)
How exactly does this work? There's no instructions I can find anywhere
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by sp332 on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @01:57PM (#30262787)
There are two words. You only get to make one guess at a time, and it shows you the results for both words. The goal is to guess both words in seven guesses.
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by culi on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @02:05PM (#30262914)
thank you!
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by duskwuff on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @02:01PM (#30262862)
Same as Wordle, except more so. You're guessing two five-letter words at once.

Also, really only relevant in NYC, but [Subwaydle](https://www.subwaydle.com/)
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by sp332 on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @05:44PM (#30265913)
If you're including Letterle, you might as well add Horsle where the word is just always "Horse". https://horsle.glitch.me/

Why do only two words at once with dordle when you could do four words at once with https://www.quordle.com

In Spanish you can win almost all gameplays with "aires" or "seria" as the starting word.
Re:Nerdle = Like Wordle but with Equations by jimkleiber on Wednesday February 09, 2022 @11:55PM (#30282592)
ahh, nice :-) I got the word today but didn't actually know it was a word or what it meant. However, I'm enjoying the challenge and the chance to practice thinking through 5-letter words in Spanish
