🔢 Operator Gap

Operator Gap shows an equation with missing operators. The numbers and the answer are fixed — only the operators between them can change.

How to play

Tap each gap to cycle through + − × ÷.

All gaps filled with the correct total solves the puzzle.

Strategy tips

Division is the most restrictive operator — it only fits where operands divide evenly, so test ÷ gaps first.
If the target is far larger than the numbers suggest, a × must be somewhere.
Remember standard precedence — × and ÷ bind before + and −, so the total is not left-to-right.

FAQ

Do the operators follow normal precedence?

Yes — × and ÷ are applied before + and −, exactly like written arithmetic.

Can the same operator appear twice?

Yes — the gaps are independent and repeats are common.

Is every puzzle solvable?

Yes — each one is generated from a real equation, so a correct combination always exists.
