Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Choose two values in order.
- Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
Controls
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
