The trick is making guesses that you know are incorrect to rule out multiple digits at once.
What do you mean by incorrect? The equation has to be valid, according to the rules. At some point I ended up with 2 + + 8 = 1 where x = y because of math. I had 5 guesses left and 8 possibilities. That's just gambling without the money at that point.
This is very frustrating. It's like Wordle but without any of the nice or enjoyable elements.

I use that same strategy in Wordle. Most often my first word is SOARE and the second is MINTY… unless I got like three matches in the first word, it’s better to get extra data quickly.
You should give hard mode a try. That makes it a lot less repetitive and more fun.

I get the same feeling as everyone. There is no point in the game because even a single digit wrong is no clue at all. In my 1st and only attempt, I entered 1 + 2+ 8 = 11 and both pluses, the 2 the 1 and the 8 were right, with only the 2 in the wrong position. And yet that gave zero clue to what the other number was... and it turned out to be another 8, which made finding the solution really luck-based.
It's funny there are so many people saying how much they hate it. All power to you. But personally I like it way more than Wordle.
I basically like the solving part of Wordle but hate the thinking up words aspect. Nerdle fixes that, but the equation bit keeps it more interesting than a meaningless string of symbols.
Similar to how I prefer the numbers round on Countdown [1] to the main letters game.

Ha! I played the exact same first game! https://pasteboard.co/NYP4YfnNj0kk.jpg
? As in Worldle itself (except in hard mode), you don't need to match what you've deduced already . So, your second line could have been some equation with (most of) the digits 3,4,5,7,9 (and whatever you need to make it an equation). The colour of those then would have told you all you need to know to win.

It's all fun until you get something like FIGHT where the last four letters are right and have to just guess from LIGHT, MIGHT, RIGHT, SIGHT, TIGHT, WIGHT, anything I might have missed, and there's no way to use any strategy and you just have to randomly guess and hope you guess right.
That's a best case of 2 additional guesses and worst case of 3 (expectation of 2 1/3) which is better than your strategy, which has a best case of 1, worst case 6, expectation 3 1/2.
Cool idea. But here’s the first game I played: https://pasteboard.co/NYP4YfnNj0kk.jpg Perfect example of why this doesn’t really work. I didn’t have enough information to narrow down the possible values that could solve the missing parts of the equation I stumbled on in the remaining tries.
