    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What is Mathler?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.aarp.org/games/play/mathler/" target="_self"&gt;Mathler&lt;/A&gt; is a daily puzzle game where you guess a hidden equation that equals a given number.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How do I play?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Use digits (0–9) and operations (+, –, ×, ÷) to form an equation. You have six tries to guess the correct one.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What do the colors mean?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Green = correct and in the right spot. Orange = correct but in the wrong spot. Gray = not in the equation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is order of operations important?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. Mathler follows standard math rules: multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Can numbers and operators repeat?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. You can use the same digit or operator more than once.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Are parentheses allowed?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Only in Hard mode. Parentheses help structure more complex equations.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What’s the difference between difficulty levels?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Easy mode has simpler equations. Normal is the standard game. Hard includes parentheses. Extreme only shows green tiles—no orange hints.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Can I play past puzzles?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. Use the calendar icon to revisit previous Mathler challenges.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is Mathler free to play?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. Mathler is completely free.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Can I share my results?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. After solving a puzzle, you can copy and share your results with friends.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN data-teams="true"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Found this post helpful?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Give it a kudo to let us know—it helps others discover valuable content too.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
