The Fractions theme gives you equations heavy on division. Most puzzles include at least one / operation, and many center around numbers with clean divisibility relationships: 48/6, 72/8, 56/7.
It's unlimited 8-column play. All division in Nerdle must produce whole numbers. So you won't see 7/3 - every division operation in the puzzle has an integer result. Good practice for mental division.
Same grid as Classic with an emphasis on division-based equations.
Expect at least one / in every equation. Some puzzles use division combined with other operators: 48/6-2=6 or 9+72/8=18.
Every division operation produces a whole number. No decimals, no remainders. This limits which number pairs appear but also gives you a constraint to reason with.
Same 8-column format as Classic. 6 guesses, standard color feedback.
All division must produce whole numbers. No decimals, no remainders. Leading zeros are not allowed.
Classic mode can use any combination of operators. The Fractions theme guarantees at least one division operation in every puzzle. If you want to practice mental division, this theme focuses the equations.
The numbers in Fractions tend to have clean divisibility relationships (multiples of 6, 8, 9). Classic equations are more random. Fractions is narrower but builds specific mental math skills faster.
Nerdle only uses integer division, so only certain number pairs appear. Knowing these by heart speeds up your solving:
After a few rounds, you'll spot these pairs from the color feedback alone. If 4 and 8 both show correct or misplaced, think 48/8=6, 48/6=8, or 8*4=32. The division pairs narrow your options fast.
The number pairs you see most: 12/2, 12/3, 12/4, 12/6, 24/3, 24/4, 24/6, 24/8, 36/4, 36/6, 36/9, 48/6, 48/8, 56/7, 56/8, 63/7, 63/9, 72/8, 72/9, 81/9. Recognize these fast and you'll solve puzzles faster.
Use an opener that tests a common division: 48/6-2=6 or 72/8+1=10. This immediately checks whether the puzzle's division uses similar number ranges.
Many Fractions equations have the division result on the right side of the =. If you get a single-digit result showing green, look for a number pair on the left that divides cleanly to that number.
