Allowed operations
Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and parentheses. Each supplied number can be used at most once; repeated values count as separate occurrences. You do not have to use all six. Every intermediate result must be a positive whole number: a remainder, zero or a negative result is rejected.
Build and check an expression
Look for a product near the target, then adjust it with addition or subtraction. Parentheses let you choose the order of operations. Click the numbers and operators or type an expression. Checking shows its value and estimated score; finishing the puzzle saves your final result.
Scoring and another puzzle
The score starts at 1,000 points, subtracts 20 per unit away from the target and 25 per operation beyond three, with a minimum of zero. A reference expression becomes available after finishing, although it may not be the shortest solution. Play Daily, Unlimited or an archived puzzle and keep your saved progress.
