An introduction to playing Make 24

Try Make 24 at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Practice with a purpose

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Follow the example

Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

Where a round can go wrong

Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
