The New York Times has lifted the lid on Digits, a daily maths-based puzzle game.
Digits is in its beta, and is essentially Countdown’s numbers-based segment. Those of you who enjoy a bit of early afternoon brain stimulation will know exactly what I mean.
In Digits, players are given a number that they need to reach through mathematical manipulation.
They are then presented with a selection of six numbers, along with the mechanics required to either add, subtract, multiply or divide these numbers. Once a player submits their answer, Digits will then give a star rating based on their workings. Unlike with Wordle where it is a one and done situation, with Digits there are five calculations to try and solve each day.
You can see an example of how Digits looks in the image below.
Meanwhile, if you fancy having a crack at today’s Digits puzzle selection, you can follow the link here. Please note, however, this is a limited time beta, and will only be available this week. Then, depending on how Digits is received by players, the NYT will decide how to proceed from there.
