Target 24
Combine four numbers with + − × ÷ to make exactly 24. Five new puzzles every day.
How to play
- You get four numbers. Tap one, choose + − × or ÷, then tap a second number to merge them into a single result.
- Keep merging until one number is left. If it is exactly 24, the puzzle is solved.
- Every number must be used once. Fractions are allowed along the way, so 8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) is a legal route to 24.
- A round is five puzzles. Faster solves score more, up to 100 each. Undo, Reset and Hint are always available; Skip scores zero and shows one solution.
Tips and strategy
- Look for pairs that make 24 directly: 3 × 8, 4 × 6, 2 × 12.
- Aim for 24 as 12 + 12, 30 − 6 or 48 ÷ 2, then work backwards.
- Do not ignore division. Hard puzzles usually need a fraction, such as 1 ÷ 3 turned back into a whole number by multiplying.
- A 1 can multiply or divide without changing a value, which makes it a handy spare number.
FAQ
- Is every puzzle solvable?
- Yes. Each set of four numbers is checked by a solver before you see it, so a solution always exists.
- Is the daily set the same for everyone?
- Yes. The five puzzles are generated from the UTC date, so every player gets the same set and it resets at 00:00 UTC.
- Does it use any online data?
- No. Puzzles, scoring and your best score are all handled in your browser and saved on this device.
