## What is Play Countdown?

Solve the target. Build your streak. Make five minutes count.

Countdown is a daily numbers puzzle built for quick, satisfying mental arithmetic.

You get six numbers and a three-digit target. Combine them with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to reach the exact answer. Each number can only be used once, so every move matters.

A new handcrafted puzzle arrives every day. Solve it over coffee, during a commute, or whenever you want a short, focused challenge.
