Play Numble

Numble screen with target 214, a START button and orange buttons for brackets, plus, minus, divide, multiply and equals

Numble is a daily maths game: you get a target and a handful of numbers, and you write an expression with the four operations and brackets that reaches the target exactly. A timer starts when you press START, every challenge is guaranteed to be solvable, and the solution appears if you give up.

About Numble (numble.wtf)

Numble shows a target at the top of the screen, such as 214. When you press START the day's numbers appear and the clock begins. You build an expression with the numbers and the buttons for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and brackets, and the game shows the running result as you go.

You may only use the numbers provided, and the goal is to hit the target exactly as fast as you can. Each daily challenge is generated so that it is guaranteed to have a solution, and if you give up the game shows one.

The daily target and numbers are the same for everyone, which makes times easy to compare. An archive holds earlier days, and a Bonus puzzle offers an extra challenge.

It suits anyone who enjoys the numbers round of Countdown or mental arithmetic puzzles, and it takes only a few minutes.

How to play Numble (numble.wtf)

  1. Open Numble and note today's target.
  2. Press START to reveal the numbers and start the timer.
  3. Build an expression with the numbers, +, -, *, / and brackets.
  4. Press = to check it; the result appears below.
  5. Hit the target exactly to stop the clock, or give up to see a solution.

Tips

  • Look for a multiplication that lands close to the target, then adjust.
  • Brackets let you combine small numbers before multiplying.
  • Work backwards from the target: what is it divisible by?
  • Try the Bonus puzzle or the archive for more practice.
