Is this like Wordle but with numbers?

It’s Wordle-style guessing with colored tile feedback, but you guess digits instead of letters. NumberGlyph also gives you Σ (digit sum) and Shape clues before you start, so it’s more deduction than blind guessing.

Do I need to do math equations like Nerdle?

No. NumberGlyph is not an equation game. You’re not building calculations — you use clue-first constraints (Σ + Shape) and tile feedback to eliminate candidates.

What are Σ and Shape?

Σ is the sum of all digits. Shape is the up/down pattern between digits using > < =. Together they narrow the search space before your first guess.

Wordle-style with numbers (but clue-first)

If you’re searching for a “Wordle-style with numbers”, you usually find either:
equation games (stressy) or pure guessing (random). NumberGlyph is different: it’s a Wordle-style number puzzle where you get two strong clues up front: Σ (digit sum) + Shape (> < =).

No equations

Not a math-equation game. It’s logic + constraints.

Clues first

Start with Σ (digit sum) + Shape (> < =).

Wordle-style feedback

Green = right digit, right place. Yellow = right digit, wrong place.

How it works (30 seconds)

Fingerprint example: Σ = 14 Shape = < > < Meaning: - All digits add up to 14 - The number goes up, down, up between digits

Then you guess like Wordle and use the tile colours + the fingerprint to prune candidates fast.
