Nerdle: The Brainy New Puzzle Game That’s All About Logic

Nerdle, the brainy puzzle game sensation, wins Consumer Services StartUp of the Year at the London StartUp Awards 2023, blending maths, fun, and learning into one addictive game.

In early 2022, Richard, Marcus, Alex, Imogen and Gavin launched Nerdle, an online maths puzzle game inspired by their shared passion for puzzles, numbers, and making learning fun. The founders came up with the idea for Nerdle in a moment of inspiration, stuck in traffic and chatting about the popular word game, Wordle. Within a week, they had designed the rules, named the game “Nerdle,” and launched it to an enthusiastic global audience.

Nerdle started as a side hustle but quickly became a viral success, gaining over a million players in the first week. The huge interest and press coverage gave the founders the motivation to turn their idea into a full-time business. Over the past year, Nerdle has grown into a major player in the casual gaming sector, bringing joy to maths fans all over the world.

The Nerdle team is committed to building on their global success. Their plans for 2023 and beyond focus on continued growth through customer acquisition, expanding their range of maths puzzles, and translating the games into more languages to reach new audiences. However, they intend to stay true to their vision of creating entertaining yet challenging games for self-proclaimed “maths nerds.” Nerdle will also continue supporting their charity partners through initiatives like Positive Numbers.

The founders are excited to develop Nerdle into an established brand that inspires millions of players with fun, educational maths games. Winning the 2023 Startup Awards was thrilling recognition of their hard work and motivation to keep pushing the boundaries of mathematical entertainment. Nerdle is proof that with passion, vision, and teamwork, a simple idea can become a global success. This brainy little puzzle game looks set to bring logic and joy to maths fans for years to come.
