Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the Make 24 game?

Make 24 is a classic math puzzle where the goal is to combine four numbers using basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and parentheses to reach a target number, typically 24.

Q How does Card Merger Mode work?

In Card Merger Mode, you click a number card, click an operator, and click a second card. The two cards merge into a single card representing the computed result. This repeats until only one card remains.

Q Can I use decimals or fractions in my steps?

Yes! The game features a fractional precision engine. If you divide 8 by 3, it will result in the fraction 8/3, which you can subsequently multiply or add to other numbers without rounding errors.

Q How does the creator mode work?

The creator wizard allows you to pick any 4 numbers and a target value. It validates whether the puzzle has at least one mathematical solution. If solvable, it produces an encrypted link that you can share with friends.

Q Are there multiple solutions to each puzzle?

Many puzzles have multiple valid solutions. Clicking "Solutions" will list every possible expression to reach the target using the given numbers.
