Didn't know where to vent this but this seems as a good a place as any.
Anyone else do nerdle? Not to give the answer away is it not mathematically incorrect today following BODMAS rule as they say they do.

"Are we looking at the same one? Should be add before subtract which gives a negative number answer."
BODMAS is simply an anacronym to help you know the order of things in solving equations etc.
In NERDLE you are not solving. You are creating. |

In their How to Play they even say

Ooh, I don't like it, in their How to Play they even say Standard order of operations applies, so calculate * and / before + and - ! |

Adding and subtraction, if in the same calculation, is applied left to right not adding before subtraction.
So although multiplication / division should be completed first if part of the puzzle a straight - / + puzzle is answered like that (minus first, then plus). |
