Noughtilus
What is Noughtilus?
Noughtilus is a free daily maths puzzle where the goal is to build a mathematical chain that finishes at zero. Each day presents a new puzzle, giving players a compact arithmetic challenge to solve.
How to play Noughtilus
Players construct a chain of numbers and operations so that the final result is exactly zero. The exact setup may vary by puzzle, but the target is always the same: make the chain resolve to 0. It is best approached step by step, treating each part of the chain as a link toward that ending value.
Tips & strategy
- Work backwards from zero: decide what the final step needs to produce, then plan the earlier chain to set it up.
- Keep intermediate results manageable, since large or unwieldy numbers can make it harder to land exactly on zero.
- Look for ways to cancel values out, such as pairing a number with its negative or using operations that offset each other.
- If you are stuck, write out the chain as an equation and solve for the missing part.
- Use trial and error in a structured way, changing one link at a time so you can see how it affects the final result.
