What is maxi nerdle?
Maxi nerdle is the bigger, harder version of classic nerdle. Instead of 8 characters, the hidden equation uses 10 – and on top of the standard digits and operators you also get brackets, x² (squared) and x³ (cubed). That opens up far more complex calculations and makes every puzzle a proper challenge.
You still have six guesses, and every guess must be a mathematically correct equation. After each guess, colour-coded tiles tell you how close you are:
- Green – correct character in the correct position.
- Purple – correct character, wrong position.
- Grey – character not in the solution.

Extra operators in maxi
The extra characters in maxi nerdle – brackets, squares and cubes – mean the solutions can include calculations with nested operations that you wouldn’t see in classic. If you’re comfortable with order of operations and enjoy working with powers, maxi is the variant for you.
Who is maxi nerdle for?
Maxi nerdle is aimed at math enthusiasts who find classic nerdle too easy and want a harder daily puzzle. The extra characters and operators make each solve more involved, and the wider solution space means your opening guesses need to be even more strategic.
If maxi is too intense, step down to classic nerdle (8 characters) or midi nerdle (7 characters). If you want even more challenge, try bi nerdle (two puzzles at once) or quad nerdle (four at once).
