What is Mathler?
Mathler is a mathematical puzzle game similar to Wordle, but instead of guessing words, you must find a hidden calculation that equals a given target number. The game combines arithmetic with logical deduction.
Each day features a new equation to solve, and all players solve the same puzzle.
Mathler Game Rules
- Objective: Find the hidden calculation in 6 attempts
- Target Number: You're given the result (e.g., "= 20")
- Equation Length: Usually 6 characters (can vary by difficulty)
- Valid Operations: Use
+, -, *, /
- Color Feedback:
- 🟩 Green — Correct digit/operator in correct position
- 🟨 Yellow — Correct digit/operator in wrong position
- ⬜ Gray — Digit/operator not in the equation
- Rules:
- Must be a valid calculation
- Follows order of operations (PEMDAS)
- Result must equal the target number
How To Play Mathler
Let's walk through an example (target number is 20):
Guess 1
Player Guesses: 10+10= (trying simple addition)
Feedback:
- 1 🟨 — In equation, wrong position
- 0 🟨 — In equation, wrong position
-
- 1 🟨 — In equation, wrong position
- 0 🟨 — In equation, wrong position
Analysis: Contains 1 and 0, but not addition. Maybe multiplication or subtraction?
Guess 2
Player Guesses: 4*5-0= (trying multiplication)
Feedback:
- 4 ⬜ — Not in equation
-
- 5 ⬜ — Not in equation
-
- 0 🟨 — In equation, wrong position
Analysis: Has multiplication in position 2, and contains 0 somewhere
Guess 3
Player Guesses: 2*10-0 (2 × 10 = 20)
Feedback: All 🟩 — Correct!
Success! Found the equation in 3 attempts.
Mathler Strategy Tips
- Start Simple: Try basic operations with common numbers
- Order of Operations: Remember PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
- Factor the Target: Think about factors of the target number
- 20 = 2×10, 4×5, 20×1
- 20 = 25-5, 30-10
- Use Yellow Hints: Rearrange digits/operators that are in the equation
- Common Patterns:
- Multiplication often appears in middle positions
- Division less common but possible
- Addition/subtraction often at the end
Common Equation Patterns
6-Character Equations
AB*CD= (e.g., 12*34=)
AB+CD= (e.g., 15+25=)
AB-CD= (e.g., 50-30=)
AB/C-D (e.g., 20/4-2)
Tips for Each Operation
- Multiplication (*): Look for factor pairs
- Division (/): Consider divisors of the target
- Addition (+): Think of number pairs that sum to target
- Subtraction (-): Consider differences
