New York Times Simple Crossword Answers: Thursday, October 24th
The New York Times has added the following title to its game catalog after the continued success of Wordle – and it’s all about mathematics. The numbers feature players adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. You can play the trial version online for free now.
In the game Digits, players are presented with a target number that they need to match. Players are given six numbers and have the ability to add, subtract, multiply, or divide them to get as close to the target as possible. However, it is not necessary to use all numbers, so this game will test your math skills as you combine numbers and try to create the correct equations to get closer to the target number as much as possible.
Players will receive a five-star rating if they match the target number exactly, a three-star rating if they get within 10 of the target, and a one-star rating if they manage to get within 25 of the target number. Currently, players can also access five different puzzles with increasingly larger numbers as well. I have solved today’s puzzle and found it to be a fun number-based game that should appeal to puzzle enthusiasts who enjoy games like Threes or other New York Times titles like Wordle and Spelling Bee.
In an article unveiling Digits and detailing the New York Times Games team’s process of developing the game, The Times says the team will use this free trial version to fix bugs and evaluate whether it is worth moving to a more active development phase “where the game is coded and designs are finalized.” So, play Digits as much as possible, as The New York Times may move forward with the project if it does not get the response it hopes for.
The trial version of Digits is available to play for free now on The New York Times Games website
