Tips & tricks to playing Nerdle

Having a near-to-perfect approach to the game can go a long way in maintaining your game streak, so here are some basic tips to help you in your daily Nerdle journey:

• Utilize the color-graded hints from the numbers and symbols, and try to optimize your answer wisely.
• Use as many numbers as possible in the first guess. This will set your flow for the rest of the equation, making it easier for you to guess the answer.
• Use two or more symbols in the second guess to get a clearer picture of the answer.

When does the next Nerdle game start?

According to the on-screen prompt after completing my own game, a new game will begin at midnight — so you’ll have a decent amount of time to complete a round each day if you need to put a pin in your guesses and come back later.
