Numbers
Knack
Hit the target with the numbers you are dealt.
Knack is a quick daily numbers workout. You get six numbers and a three-digit target, and you combine the numbers with add, subtract, multiply, and divide to land on it. Everyone plays the same puzzle each day, and it takes just a few minutes.
How to play
- You are given six numbers and one three-digit target.
- Combine two numbers at a time with add, subtract, multiply, or divide. The result becomes a new number you can use.
- Each number is used at most once, and every step has to stay a positive whole number.
- Reach the target exactly, or get as close as you can. You can undo or reset at any time.
Scoring and streaks
- Finishing the day counts toward your streak, however close you get.
- Hit the target using the fewest numbers for three stars. One more number earns two stars, and beyond that earns one.
- We only ever celebrate a personal best. We never tell you that you did worse than before.
Sharing your result
When you finish, you get a spoiler-free result to share. It shows how you did, never the answer, so friends can be curious without spoiling their own puzzle.
