Hello Product Hunt, happy Sunday! I hope you can find a minute or two to try Ordered Ops, a daily puzzle that challenges your arithmetic skills. I love the daily puzzle genre of games (Wordle, Strands, NYT Mini, etc), but I always felt the math-inclined puzzlers were a bit underserved by the space. Ordered Ops is my little contribution! No accounts or ads, but stats (streaks, total solves, and average time) are tracked locally. The game has certainly kept my times tables and perfect squares memory sharp (Quick! What's 14²??), and there are different patterns, techniques, and strategies that players pick up along the way to improve their times. I'm interested in stratifying the puzzles by difficulty (perhaps escalating difficulty over the week a la crosswords), but difficulty is sooo subjective. I'd be very curious what you all think of today's! Too easy or perhaps a rude introduction?? As for me... 9️⃣➡️3️⃣5️⃣ in 00:00:56⌚
