The goal

Every board gives you a small set of number tiles and one target. Your job is to combine the tiles until a single tile equals the target.

Making a move

1. Tap a tile to pick your first number.
2. Choose an operation — add (+), subtract (−), multiply (×), or divide (÷).
3. Tap a second tile for the other number.

The two tiles you used are consumed and replaced by a single new tile holding the result. That new tile is fair game for your next move, so you keep chaining results together until one tile lands exactly on the target.

A quick example

Say the target is 24 and you have the tiles 6 and 4.

• Tap 6, choose ×, tap 4 → the two tiles become a single 24 tile.
• 24 equals the target — the board is solved. 🎉

With more tiles you'll chain several moves: forge two numbers into a new one, then use that result with the next tile, and so on.

A few rules of the forge

• Division is exact. You can only divide when it comes out to a whole number.
• Order can matter. Subtraction and division depend on which tile you pick first, so the sequence of your moves is part of the puzzle.
• There's always at least one solution — every board is solvable by construction.

What "par" means

Each board has a par: the fewest moves a perfect solver needs. Solving in par (or close to it) earns more stars. Par is measured, not guessed — so matching it really is matching the best possible line.
