Take a closer look while playing
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you need to achieve
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
