Make24 / Guide

How to play the 24 game.

Use all four numbers to make 24. You can add, subtract, multiply or divide.

Take it one move at a time

Tap a number, choose an operation, then tap another number. The result replaces the two numbers you used. Keep going with the numbers left on the board until only 24 remains.

The rules

• Use every starting number exactly once.
• You can use any of the four operations more than once.
• Division must give a whole number: 8 ÷ 4 is fine; 8 ÷ 3 isn’t.

Try 2, 4, 6 and 8

Start with 6 − 2. That gives you another 4, leaving 4, 4 and 8. From there:

All four starting numbers used, and 24 at the end. That’s a solve.

Taken a wrong turn?

Tap Undo to go back a move, or Reset to get the original numbers back. Every daily Make24 puzzle has a solution, so try a different pair or operation.
