The New York Times Introduces Digits: A Math-Based Game
The New York Times has recently unveiled its latest addition to the Games catalog, following the success of Wordle. The new game, Digits, is all about math and challenges players to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers. The beta version of Digits is now available for free online.
In Digits, players are tasked with matching a target number by using six given numbers and applying mathematical operations. Players can choose to add, subtract, multiply, or divide the numbers to get as close to the target number as possible. Strategic thinking and math skills are essential to succeed in this game.
Players can earn a five-star rating for matching the target number exactly, a three-star rating for getting within 10 of the target, and a one-star rating for getting within 25 of the target number. Additionally, players can access five different puzzles with progressively larger numbers to challenge themselves further.
Having played today’s puzzle, I found Digits to be an engaging number-based game that will appeal to fans of puzzle games like Threes, Wordle, and Spelling Bee from The New York Times. The game offers a unique blend of math and strategy that will test players’ problem-solving skills.
The New York Times Games team has shared insights into the development process of Digits, stating that they will use the beta phase to address any bugs and evaluate the game’s potential for further development. Players are encouraged to try out Digits during its beta phase, as the future of the game will depend on the response it receives.
Experience the beta version of Digits for free on The New York Times Games’ website and put your math skills to the test in this exciting new game.
