The FORGE puzzle from that Wednesday asked for 130 from the tiles 2, 5, 5, 6, 7, and 9. The fewest merges is 3, and here is one way to get there.

One way to the target

  • 2 × 5 = 10
  • 6 + 7 = 13
  • 10 × 13 = 130

Worth knowing about this puzzle: the solver found many ways to hit 130 in 3 merges, so your route can differ from this one. Work backwards from the target: ask which two numbers make it, then which make those.
