Mathle
Mathle is a daily number puzzle for people who enjoy Wordle-style logic and quick arithmetic. Each puzzle asks you to find one hidden addition or subtraction equation.
How to play Mathle
Mathle gives you five tries to uncover one hidden addition or subtraction. Every guess must be a complete equation, so you are solving both the arithmetic and the exact placement of each character.
Build a valid equation
Use digits with one plus or minus sign and the fixed equals sign. The answer side is always a positive number.
Read the colors
Green means the character is correct and in the right position. Yellow means it appears in the equation but belongs somewhere else. Gray means it is not in the solution.
Use each guess as evidence
A strong opening guess tests different digits and one operator. After each row, combine the color feedback with arithmetic rules to narrow the remaining equations.
Solve before five rows fill
You win when your equation exactly matches the hidden Mathle. If the fifth guess is wrong, the solution is revealed.
Use Color Blind Mode if needed
Color Blind Mode changes the feedback palette: correct-position green becomes amber, present-elsewhere yellow becomes blue, and absent gray stays gray.
Color examples
The plus sign is green because it is in the correct position.
The digit 6 is yellow because it appears in the equation, but it belongs somewhere else.
The digit 5 is gray because it is not part of the solution.

Color Blind Mode colors
Color Blind Mode keeps the same meaning but changes the palette: correct becomes amber, present becomes blue, and absent stays gray.
