Read before your next round of Make 24
Choose a round of Make 24 and settle into its rules. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Each generated starting set has a verified solution; fractions are allowed.
Try a more deliberate round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

Start here and follow along
- Choose two values in order.

- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
Input guidance
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
An example to follow
8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
A useful caution
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
