How to Handle High Numbers (3-Digit Results)

When the answer is big, the equation gets tight. Learn how to manage space when the result takes up 3 of your 8 tiles.

Math Department

AI Summary

This guide addresses 3-digit results (e.g., =105). It explains that if the result has 3 digits, you only have 4 slots left for the calculation (since "=" takes 1). This forces a very specific structure, usually "2-digit + 2-digit" or "2-digit * 1-digit".

AI Highlights

  • Space Constraints: 3-digit answers leave little room for complex math.
  • Addition/Multiplication Only: You rarely get 3-digit results from subtraction or division in these constraints.

The 5-Slot Squeeze

With a 3-digit answer, you have 5 slots including the equals sign. That means the left side is only 4 chars long.

Constraint is Good

Knowing the answer is 100+ effectively eliminates 90% of possible equations. Use this to your advantage.
