Number Target
Four numbers and a target. Combine them with plus, minus, times and divide — each number used exactly once — until you land on the total. Every deal has a solution, and undo costs you nothing, so it rewards experimenting rather than punishing it.
How it works
- Use all four numbers exactly once to reach the target shown.
- Pick a number, choose + − × or ÷, then pick a second number.
- The result replaces both numbers, so four become three, then two, then one.
- Fractions are allowed along the way — some deals can only be solved through one.
- Undo as often as you like. Landing on the wrong total costs you nothing.
- Every deal has a solution.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- Mental arithmetic with a puzzle around it
- Trying things freely with nothing to lose
- A few minutes rather than an evening
