The objective of a round
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How a round unfolds
- Choose two values in order.
- Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
A useful caution
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
