About
Number Forge is a daily number puzzle. Every day brings one new
puzzle: combine six numbers with + - x / to forge the target number.
HOW TO PLAY
- Pick two tiles and an operation to forge them into a new number.
- Reach the target in as few operations as you can.
- Par shows the minimum possible. Can you match it?
ONE PUZZLE A DAY
- Everyone gets the same puzzle each day.
- Track solved days, your current streak, longest streak, and par matches.
- Share your result as spoiler-free text.
DAILY LEADERBOARD
- Solved today? See where you stand: "Today: #N of M" on the Game Center Daily Forge leaderboard.
- Scores start at 2,000: each move over par costs 200 points and each second costs 1 (time stops counting at 20 minutes).
- Game Center sign-in is optional. Everything works without it.
NOT QUITE THERE? IT STILL COUNTS
- Finish whenever you like: 2 stars within 10 of the target, 1 star within 25. Stars keep your streak going.
- Once you finish, you can see an example solution.
MORE THAN ONE WAY
- After solving, look for other ways to forge the target.
- Every new way raises your title for the day: Apprentice, Smith, Master Smith, Legend.
WIDGET AND REMINDER
- Add a widget to see today's target, or your solved result, at a glance.
- An optional daily reminder helps you keep the habit. The app works
fully without notifications.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account required. No ads. No tracking.
- Your progress stays on your device.
