3 → DEF
4 → GHI
5 → JKL
6 → MNO
7 → PQRS
8 → TUV
9 → WXYZExample: DH(AK)AD H A K A → 3 4 2 5 2The brackets around AK group the corresponding digits 2 and 5. You choose an operator inside that pair as well as between the other digits.One example combination is:3² × 4 − (2 ÷ 5) + 2 = 37.60Try other combinations and compare your scores.Brackets and powersEach supplied bracket pair groups two adjacent digits and their operator. Its calculated result must be greater than zero. Bracket positions stay fixed for that puzzle.Powers apply to eligible individual digits. Digits inside brackets and some of the highest digit values are protected. The game determines the allowed powers for each word. If both a cube and a square are available, choose the cube ³ first, then the square ². A power applies to a single digit, rather than the whole bracket result.Operator rulesUse ÷, ×, + and − at least once each. The number of minus signs must be at least as large as the count of each other arithmetic operator and the total number of powers used. Multiplication must be used no more often than division.Read the Symbol BankThe bank displays used / total and updates as you make choices.B = bracket pairs
O = ORDER powers
D = division
M = multiplication
A = addition
S = subtractionFor example, O(²): 0 / 1 shows that no square has been used and one is allocated to the word. Use the bank and the game's rule messages to guide your choices.BODMAS: how the expression is calculatedBrackets: calculate the grouped parts.
Orders: calculate powers.
Division and Multiplication: work from left to right.
Addition and Subtraction: work from left to right.Division may produce decimals, such as 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Experiment with valid expressions and aim to improve your score for each word.
