Mathle – Wordle for Math People

Hey HN check this really cool worlde-inspired project of a friend of mine. :)

Mathle – Wordle for Math People launched on January 26, 2022 with 10 votes, #1,143 of 2,891 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Mathle is a math-based puzzle game inspired by Wordle. Players solve mathematical equations rather than guess words, making it designed for people who enjoy both word puzzles and mathematics. The game follows a similar daily challenge format to its word puzzle inspiration, offering a numerical twist on the popular guessing game mechanic.

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage.
