switched to nerdle.....

That looks challenging! I like their mission statement, I was in a store recently and the young person on the till couldn't subtract 5 from 50 in their head, they had to find a calculator *!

Phew I did it! Took me about an hour though! Very difficult!

Good grief. I thought I had a maths brain - clearly not. I need a lie down after that

Annoyed at myself in that I had the answer at line 3 again but it was an order issue which I hadn't spotted wasn't valid due to the line above... I quite like this

I think once you've worked out a strategy, it's not that hard. Mind you, today's puzzle seemed a lot easier.

Spoiler: about today and strategy

I'm not so keen on the single digit ones, double digits are more interesting.

I tend to start with 12+35=47 and then do something with 6/8/9 and trying to turn purples into greens for the second line, on reflection it's probably more efficient to do some single digits and nail all four operators in the first two lines but that's just a gut feel.

I think I prefer wordl.

I was brave, but I do now need a lie down.

You can re-use numbers - I did't realise that

Spoiler: revised first line & comment on today

I'm now starting with 7+8-2=13. Mixed bag today - fluked the last 3 boxes green on line 2, then got caught by commutation

Most admit I find this far easier than Wordle which I always struggle with.

Annoyed again as the third line was equivalent to the fourth

That's a bit better

EDIT - I enjoy wordle a bit more than nerdle - as has been noted above, there is something a bit formulaic about nerdle, which doesn't quite have that moment of Ah Hah which wordle does.

I think I miss a trick on Nerdle and overthink it. Wordle takes me 5 minutes or so whereas Nerdle takes me a lot longer
