Give your mental math a workout. Six numbers. One target. With a fresh puzzle every day, and unlimited practice whenever you want more. Play Countdown turns arithmetic practice into a satisfying numbers game. Combine six numbers using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to reach the target exactly. Each number can be used once, and division must produce a whole number. The rules are simple. Finding the right combination is the challenge. And close counts too. Every daily scores points: 10 for hitting the target, then 7, 5, 3 or 1 the closer you get. Solve it in the fewest possible moves for a bonus point. Stuck? Bank your closest number to lock in your points, then see how everyone did on today's puzzle. Can you score a perfect week of 70? Make it a small daily habit: a puzzle over coffee, a challenge during your commute, or a few minutes of focused play whenever you want a break. Watch the timer or switch to Relax Mode and take your time. Every puzzle gives you a reason to practise mental arithmetic. Try different combinations, put your multiplication tables to work, and look for a clever route to the answer. Whether you're brushing up on everyday maths or enjoy solving number puzzles, there's a new target waiting each day. And when one a day isn't enough, Countdown Extended gives you unlimited Challenges, so you can keep practising for as long as you like. Your daily game includes: - A fresh puzzle every day, the same for everyone - Points for every daily, plus a bonus for the fewest moves - Bank your closest number when you're stuck - The shortest way to the target after a miss - How everyone did: the spread of scores, where you stand and the median solve time - A weekly scorecard, points milestones and lifetime badges - A quick interactive tutorial to get you started - Clear, step-by-step calculations as you play - Relax Mode to hide the timer - Daily streaks and 24 trophies to collect - Recent game history with your moves and solve times - Optional reminders at the time you choose - Share your score without revealing the numbers - Satisfying buttons, confetti celebrations, and light and dark modes Play your daily puzzle for free, with access to the last seven days.
