How to play Make 24

Open Make 24, check the instructions and begin a round. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Each generated starting set has a verified solution; fractions are allowed.

Build a steady rhythm

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Step by step

  1. Choose two values in order.
  2. Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
  3. Combine and repeat.
  4. Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.

Controls

Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
