If you have played Wordle, you already know the excitement of solving a puzzle by logic and deduction. Nerdle works the same way, except instead of building a word you are uncovering a complete math equation. Each guess shows you which numbers and symbols are correct and where they belong, and you keep refining until the entire equation is revealed. It is quick, it is challenging, and it makes order of operations and algebra feel natural while you play. Nerdle turns math into a game, and once you try it you will want to come back every day.
All Ten is a number puzzle where you start with the digits 1 through 10. The goal is to use each digit exactly once, combining them with any operations you like, to build equations that are true. In some versions you try to make one big equation, while in others you break the numbers into several smaller equations until all ten are used. It is similar to the game 24 because both ask you to mix numbers and operations in creative ways, but All Ten uses a larger set of digits and gives more room for strategy and variety.
