Find your footing in Make 24
Start Make 24 by looking at the playing area and its controls. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Each generated starting set has a verified solution; fractions are allowed.
Give this approach a try
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Choose two values in order.
- Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
Using the playing area
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
