I once built a Tetris-like game prototype where you needed to form algebraic equations to clear objects, the more complex your equation the more points you got [1]. Reminds me a bit of this.

#22I was surprised you didn't have to use all of the numbers at the top. I never used the 8.
That’s just the way the game goes. Perhaps you’re not familiar with the TV game show Countdown, but it has been around for decades in case you’re interested in checking it out on YouTube. But I’d personally recommend the comedic variant “8 out of 10 cats does Countdown”.

Nice game, thanks for summle.net!
Here is my try for a solver:

Great game, thanks!
Re: Show HN: Countle
#27Very nice, particularly enjoyed the video (I did not know the original game). Could be improved on the sharing part! (Is puzzle the same for everyone?). A first idea: green squares for numbers on top used, yellow squares for intermediate numbers where used. Green square for final solution. Black (or similar) circle for operations. Black squares for other numbers
