How to play

Make the target number! Tap a tile, then a sign, then another tile: they join into a new tile. Keep going until one matches the target.

Tap a tile, then + − × ÷, then another tile.
The two join into one new tile with the answer.
Answers must be whole numbers above 0.
Fewer tiles, more stars: ★★★ is the best possible.
Hint: two tiles to try next. Ask again for the sign (+30s each).
Solved it? Play again for practice. Your first result is the one that counts.
