Ways to play
One board, four ways to play

The daily puzzle
A partly built board, a handful of tiles, and one goal: make every line true. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day.

Daily puzzle
Share the solve, not the answer
Fill the outlined squares so every line across and down is true. When you solve it, you get a result to share: a red square for each wrong check, yellow for each tile you revealed, green for the solve.
Any arrangement that works counts, even if it isn’t the one the puzzle started with.

Workbench
97−26=71
97 − 26 = 71
✓ Uses all 3 base tiles, in order. Fits on the board going across.
Workbench
Work it out before you commit
Tap a line of tiles on the board, then open the Workbench. It’s a calculator built from your tiles: try operators, check the math, and see if the play fits on the board and what it would score.
When it works, one tap puts the tiles on the board.
Scoring
Harder math, bigger scores
Every tile in a line counts, including the ones already on the board, so building on long equations pays off.
Tile points
1, 2 and 3 score 1 point. 4, 5 and 6 score 2. 7, 8, 9 and 0 score 3.
Premium squares
Double and triple a tile, or double and triple the whole equation.
Bonuses
+5 for an equation with × or ÷. +20 for using all 7 tiles in one play.
