FROM THE ARTICLE
A new game called Digits will be available this week for a limited-time beta release by the New York Times Games team. The beta test is available to everyone and is free to play.In the game, players are presented with six numbers and they need to combine them using common mathematical operations to reach a predetermined total. It was made in-house by the Games team, which is led by Jonathan Knight, the general manager.
Digits is a departure from the language-based fare that The Times’s puzzle lovers have grown used to, but Mr. Knight says that the team is excited to offer something that provides balance to the suite of games.
