Nerdle Game 67 – Retry

If you’re coming here for the 1st time, this post may make more sense if you have check out my Nerdle Game Explained post first.

This is a 2nd try at Nerdle Game #67, I’m just posting the final answer, some comments on how I proceeded will follow.

• My approach on the 1st guess is always 5 different numbers, 2 different operators and the = sign in the 3rd from last position.
• From 1st guess, 1,3,4 & 9 do not appear in the final answer, 2 does, but not in the right position.
• Also, the + & * operators are not in the equation and the = is in the wrong position.
• Before making my 2nd guess I tried hard to find a way to involve the – operator, but nothing came into my head. That left / and, the only place I could think of for the position was in the 4th spot.
• Obviously, because I solved this previously, I tried to find a possibility that was significantly different than the solution. I came up with line guess 2.
• That told me a lot. I learned that in addition to 2 the numbers 6, 8 & 0 were in the final answer, but 6&8 appear only once. I also verified the position of the / and =.
• The only solution I could find, given the numbers I could use, was the correct answer.

Please, if you question or see anything in my logic that’s incorrect, let me know. I got to the final answer in 3 tries again, but I may have subconsciously used the fact I had solved it before, even though I tried not to.

Thanks for spending time with me, looking forward to hearing from you.
