Inspired by Countdown? Been a while but don't they have 6 numbers? Might be nice to allow users to choose "2 big and 4 small" as well.

That's what I thought of too. Even though Countdown is kind of the UK version of the longer running French game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Des_chiffres_et_des_lettres#Nu...
Yup I immediately thought about the numbers challenge in that French show I watched as a kid
Indeed. Everything old is new again. There should be 6 numbers - perhaps one is cut off. Are you on mobile?
Write a bot to play countdown: https://botfights.ai/game/countdown
Countdown can actually get quite difficult too. Since you have the 30s timer. I learned a lot from Rachel’s solutions.
I'd pay good money to play Summle 2.0: Jimmy Carr insults you before you start playing.
