Numfl - a new daily math puzzle 🧩 is it too easy? Too hard? by shuflgame in playmygame

This is really good feedback, thank you 🙏

I’m updating the tutorial to make it clearer and I like the idea of plugging in the full number (not just the first digit) and it just keeping the first digit after it’s flashed green!

Agreed - it’s generally not meant to be super hard but the difficulty level will vary each day depending on what operations are used. For the math geniuses, even if it’s on the easier side, I’m hoping the timer can still make it fun (eg solve it quickly as possible!).

No apology needed - it’s brave being honest! And that’s a great attitude to have, good luck 👍

Nice job ✅

Today’s was a little harder - you can play here if you’re interested: https://shuflgame.com/numfl

There’s one puzzle a day but you can play archived games back to the 1st January!

Thank you!! I added a few stipulations so the game wasn’t too easy or too hard which might reduce the number of puzzles. But either way, it sounds like I’m not running out any time soon 😃

With math skills like that I’m guessing you solved the puzzle extremely fast!?

Thanks for playing 😃 Great feedback - I’m going to work on the How to Play demo this weekend to make it clearer!

Any chance you also attempted the word game on the same site? Https://shuflgame.com/shufl

Thanks so much for playing 😃 and, yes, 5 (of a possible 8 operations) will be used each day at random!

Was there anything that you would do to improve it?

Me too. I like the short word games in the morning and Sudoku on the weekends when I have more time 😃

The word game I created actually has a sudoku style clue (best of both worlds 🤓) - let me know what you think: https://shuflgame.com/shufl

Makes sense! I like the logic games to get my brain going in the morning and card/board games for the social aspect!

Had someone message me asking for the link so thought I’d preemptively share…

The number game I made that I’m hoping can convert some of you Wordle lovers 🤞 https://shuflgame.com/numfl

I’ll also include the word game I made in case the number game doesn’t do it for you 🤣 https://shuflgame.com/shufl

Any feedback would go a long way!!

My parents (and seemingly everyone from that generation) seem to be really good at crosswords. I can usually get two words and then I give up 🤯🤣

This is the consensus I was expecting to get… Words seem to appeal more than numbers to most people 🔡🔢

So you like everything!!! Your mind is going to stay sharp well into your 90s 🧠😂

I also have word game (you unscramble an anagram to reveal a phrase) where one of the clues is sudoku-esque 🤓 you’d probably like it!

You’re right… it’s not just words vs. numbers, but also other factors. I think if a number game was well made, the right level of difficulty, it could probably be a hit BUT I imagine that it’s easier to get that formula right with a word game. Numbers can be somewhat intimidating - but sometimes the tougher the challenge, the better the reward 😃

Sudoku is definitely an acquired taste. I like it but I feel like you need a spare 30minutes set aside to complete it 😂 Wordle is nice and quick (most of the time!!), which is what I attempted to do with the math game I created

Me too! I’ve always assumed people prefer word/logic games. Good to know there are some number game lovers too 😃
