Twelve puzzles with addition, multiplication, subtraction and singleton cages.

Try a deliberate move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

A useful example

A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
