Amazing little game, thank you!

Being able to swipe over the equation instead of tapping would improve playability a lot! Also I sometimes feel like the first tap is not registered right after the new MN appears.

Thanks :D

Will add swipe controls to my todos, I decided against adding it because the other word search games on the site will occasionally overflow off-screen (so swiping is required to move around the grid) but might add it as a toggle for this game.

Will look into the tap problem, thanks for reporting!

Follow-up on this feedback - it would be nice if the UI supported tapping individual blocks sequentially like the game strands does. Currently (on safari on iOS at least) if you go to highlight e.g. 6+4 one at a time the UI reports “invalid equation” if you highlight 6 and + instead of highlighting the start and end of the range in one go

Otherwise, cool game!

Ya thinking of adding this. For the moment I just made it so operators can't be highlighted at all, making it more clear that it's the numbers that need to be tapped (since equations can't start or end with an operator)
