The New York Times has launched a new daily puzzle game called Digits, which challenges players to reach a designated number using six numbers through multiplication, division, subtraction, or addition. The beta version of the game is currently available for a week, and players can earn 1-3 star ratings depending on the path they choose to solve the puzzles.
