Countdown Game & Solver

Absolutely love this game! I’m obsessed with doing countdown math problems & this lets me do as many as I want easily. It works perfectly every time. My one big question is - what do the different color tiles mean? Sometime when I’m solving one, the numbers turn red or green or brown when I use them in the board but there doesn’t seem to be a pattern. It’s driving me nuts!

I just can’t get past the way this app has to be used in order to enjoy it. And the Countdown Numbers Game (“Le Compte Est Bon”) is one of my absolute favorites! This is such a disappointment because most other versions of this game are missing the solver, which is great here. But this is basically a gamified calculator, and while even cheap, physical calculators work by pressing buttons, the only way to play this game is by dragging numbers around the screen. Tapping to calculate isn’t even an option. That makes gameplay slow and unwieldy. And even though I actually like the lack of timer (though it would be nice to have as an option) I still want to get the calculation out of my head as fast as possible!

Everything is great except when you make a mistake. There needs to be an undo function or way to clear the board.
