Neat! Reminds me of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Only note is it’d be nice if the prior “yellow” square would be auto-injected if you click an operator when there’s no number on the left cell.
And maybe if it had more “big” numbers, the expert mode is still pretty easy.
I made the site a few years ago, but I've refined it and added some features over time. Hopefully it's worth another mention!
Fun game, reminds me of the numbers round of Countdown. I would love to be able to use keyboard shortcuts instead of having to click.

... "8 out of 10 cats" is a comedy troupe. Countdown is the name of the game, and in particular the Numbers Round: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_(game_show)#Numbers_...
Yep, the show is called “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown”!
The ones you see on Youtube are the special episodes where the comedy troupe plays Countdown.
Fun little game. How does the engine know that a solution is optimal?
I wrote a script which generates all possible solutions for a given puzzle.
