Numericle Blitz — FAQ

A free daily math puzzle, against the clock. Each day everyone gets the same 5 numbers and the same target. You have 60 seconds to build an equation that hits the target.

Solve fast, share your time, challenge your friends.

• Tap PLAY on the start screen — the target reveals and the 60-second timer starts.
• Tap number tiles and operator tiles (+ − × ÷ ( )) to build an equation.
• Tap any tile already in your equation to remove it. Clear wipes everything; ⌫ deletes the last tile.
• Press Submit when your equation equals the target.
• Wrong submit? You'll get a shake — but the clock keeps ticking. Keep trying.
• Right submit stops the clock. Time runs out → puzzle locked until tomorrow.

Use any subset — from just one of the five up to all five. Each number can only be used once per equation.

Intermediate steps can produce fractions — that's fine. The final result must be a whole number.

When you finish, the Share button copies a small block to your clipboard. It looks like this:

The bar shows roughly how much of your 60 seconds you used (more green = slower). Failures show six red squares. Streaks count consecutive days you've solved in time.

Every day at midnight PST. One puzzle per day, shared by everyone, so times are comparable.

One shot per day — that's the whole point. Whether you smashed it in 8 seconds or ran out of time, the clock starts when you press PLAY and your result locks when it stops. Refreshing the page mid-play counts as a loss (sorry — anti-cheat).

Current streak counts consecutive days you've solved in time. Miss a day or run out the clock → streak resets to 0. Best streak is your all-time longest.
