An introduction to playing Make 24

Try a more deliberate round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What the game asks you to do

Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

The steps to play

  1. Choose two values in order.
  2. Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
  3. Combine and repeat.
  4. Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.

Keyboard and screen controls

Tap two values, an operation and Combine. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

Learn from a sample situation

8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

Keep this in mind

Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
