Numbers
Knackle
Reach the target with the numbers you get.
Knackle is a short daily numbers puzzle. You get a handful of numbers and one target to aim for. Join your numbers together with plus, minus, times and divide until you land on the target. Pick the level that suits you: Gentle deals four numbers and a two-digit target, Regular and Hard deal six and a three-digit one. Everyone who picks the same level gets the same puzzle, and it takes a few minutes.
How to play
- You get your numbers and one target to aim for. Gentle gives you four numbers and a two-digit target; Regular and Hard give you six and a three-digit target.
- Pick two of your numbers and join them with plus, minus, times or divide. The answer becomes a new number you can use.
- Keep going. Each number can be used once, and every answer along the way has to be a whole number above zero.
- Land on the target, or get as close as you can and send that in. Undo and Reset are there whenever you want them.
Scoring and streaks
- Finishing the day keeps your streak going, however close you got, and is always worth at least one star.
- Hit the target using as few of your numbers as possible for three stars. One number more than that earns two.
- We only ever tell you about a personal best. We will never tell you that you did worse than last time.
Sharing your result
When you finish, you get a spoiler-free badge to share. It shows how you did, never the answer, so friends can be curious without spoiling their own puzzle.

Common questions
- Is everyone’s puzzle the same?
- Yes, for the level you pick. Everyone on Gentle gets the same puzzle, everyone on Regular gets the same one, and so on.
- What if I cannot hit the target exactly?
- Send in your closest answer instead. The day still counts and your streak keeps going.
- Can I make it easier or harder?
- Yes. Knackle has three levels. Gentle deals four numbers and a two-digit target. Regular deals six numbers and a three-digit target. Hard deals the same six but picks a target with fewer ways to reach it. Pick one before you start.

- No. You can play right away. A free account is only there to keep your streak in step across your devices.
