The FORGE puzzle from that Tuesday asked for 69 from the tiles 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7. The fewest merges is 3, and here is one way to get there.

One way to the target

  • 4 × 7 = 28
  • 28 − 5 = 23
  • 3 × 23 = 69

Worth knowing about this puzzle: the solver found 27 ways to hit 69 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.
