Six play numbers, three goals to reach

0 pts 🎉 Yay
  • Tap a number, an operation, then a second number. The two tiles merge into their result, which stays on the board for your next move
  • Positive whole numbers only, and division has to come out even
  • Undo takes back your last move, as far back as you need
  • 3 minutes on the clock, and the buzzer locks your score

Scoring

  • Reaching a goal is worth 100 points
  • Par is the fewest moves a goal can be done in, revealed when you solve it. Match par for +45; each extra move trims 15. Re-solve in fewer moves and you claim the difference
  • Land exactly 1 away from a goal for +25, once per goal
  • The goals are the ladder: one reached is Jam, two is Cat, all three is Wow. Finishing at all is Yay

When time's up

  • Missed a goal? Its "How to make…" walkthrough shows a shortest path, and the board stays open to practice
  • Share sends a spoiler-free scorecard and a challenge link

Tips

  • Work back from the goal: what would you need one move before it, and can you make that?
  • A big number times a small one lands near most goals; fix the rest with + and −
  • Reach the goal first, then chase par with Undo. The bonus waits, the clock does not

Where it comes from

The numbers round of the television quiz Countdown: six numbers, a target, four operations. Numbers gives you three goals, a par for each, and three minutes.
