It was not clear to me that "the" solution didn't require all the tiles.

Or that there were multiple solutions.

In the end, I did all the steps in my head, and then refreshed the page to do it in 3 steps.

But it's not really an "iterative" game.

The rules are on the info page - maybe not that obvious.

Yup - I skimmed them, so that's on me! Don't let me being relatively harsh discourage you.

It's a good, educational game that makes you think. It just feels very different from something like Wordle, and that's OK.

Now that I got the hang of it, I tried the easy and hard modes as well, and got them both on the first try without having to undo anything.

But as others said, I looked at the available numbers, figured out what I had to multiply to get close, what I'd have to add/subtract to get the rest of the way, and how I'd use the leftover numbers there to make the addition/subtraction possible.

Basically I brute-forced it in my head. But I think it would be enjoyable if it somehow felt more iterative, and less like I was working from the solution backwards, and then just filling the steps in all at once.

Thanks, all feedback is most welcome. I tested it with only a small number of people.
