Numberle
Instead of letters, every tile holds a digit or a sign. Numberle hides a full equation and checks your own equations against it, spot by spot.

Tile colors
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | Right number or sign, right spot |
| Brown | In the equation, wrong spot |
| Grey | Not in the equation |
Think like a calculator
Each guess has to be true, so you cannot just place symbols freely. Start from the right side. If the result has two digits, the left side needs enough room to reach it. Once you know which signs are in the answer, try small changes that keep the math true while moving one symbol at a time.
Before you start Numberle
- Use a first guess with many different digits and two signs to learn the most.
- Work out where the equals sign goes early. It tells you how long the answer is.
- Remember multiplication and division are done before plus and minus.

- Green, brown or grey
Green is the right symbol in the right spot. Brown is in the equation but elsewhere. Grey is not in it.

Numberle FAQ
Can I use brackets?
No. Only digits and the plus, minus, times, divide and equals signs.
Is a+b the same as b+a?
No. Numberle treats them as different answers, so order matters.
How is it like Nerdle?
Both hide an equation with Wordle colors. Numberle uses brown instead of purple for symbols in the wrong spot.
Is there a Numberle answer today on Megadle?
Only the method lives here. Place the equals sign early, since it tells you how long the result is.
