Games Like Nerdle

Games like Nerdle end in a number or a line that has to be true. Nerdle hides an equation and colors each character the way Wordle colors a letter. Mathler shows the total and hides the expression. Angle shows a drawing and wants degrees. Costcodle wants a price. Sudoku wants digits that do not collide. Box Office wants a gross. They share arithmetic pride and almost nothing else about the clue. DleBox hosts none of them. The Krillion we host may ask you to name a prime. That is a member of a set, not a balanced equation.

• Mathler

  Math

  The target number is given. You still have to find the expression.

  Find the expression that equals the target number. Placement colors work like Wordle.

• Angle

  Logic

  The number is a measurement of a picture, not a calculation.

  Guess the angle, in degrees, drawn on the screen. Your error is shown after each try.

• Sudoku

  Logic

  Digits under row and box rules, with no equals sign.

  Fill the grid so each row, column, and box contains the digits 1 to 9 once.

• Costcodle

  Trivia

  A dollar figure for a product, narrowed by high and low.

  Guess the Costco price of a product shown in a photo.

• Box Office Game

  Words
