First Move: Place your opening equation so it passes through the
red ST (start) cell at the board center. Use number tiles from your rack + operator
tiles.
2
Subsequent Moves: Every equation MUST reuse at least one tile
already on the board — like Scrabble. Extend existing equations horizontally or vertically.
3
Valid Equations: All placed tiles in one turn must form a correct
equation: e.g. 7 + 3 = 10. Chains
like 29 = 33 − 4 = 87 − 58 are
also valid.
4
Your Rack: You hold 7 number tiles drawn from 1–100. Operators (+,
−, ×, ÷, =, brackets) are unlimited and free to use.
5
Bonus Cells: Landing on coloured cells awards bonus points.
Bonuses apply only the first time a cell is used.
6
Can't Play? Pass or Swap: If you cannot form a valid equation with
your current tiles, you must → Pass your turn to the opponent. While waiting you may
also use ⇄ Swap All to return all your tiles to the pool and draw 7 fresh ones — but
this forfeits your turn. Use the 💡 Hint button first to confirm there really is no valid move before
passing.

What is BEDMAS?
BEDMAS is a math strategy board game inspired by Scrabble. Players build valid equations on a 21×21
grid, connecting them like a crossword. BEDMAS stands for Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication,
Addition, Subtraction — the order of operations.
How to Win
Score the most points by placing high-value equations and landing on bonus cells. At game end, the
player with the highest cumulative score wins. Play smart — a single ×2 cell can double your turn score!
Tips
• Longer equations near ×2 cells score big • Use 💡 Hints when stuck (watch a short ad) • Chain
equations to cover multiple bonus cells • Force the AI into low-value positions
Most games waste your time. This one sharpens your mind.
BEDMAS builds genuine mathematical thinking through strategy and competition. Your brain gets better at numbers every single game.

Why Play
Math meets strategy
🧠
Sharpen Your Mind
Build real equations under pressure. Every move demands quick mental arithmetic
and forward planning — a workout for your brain.
⚔️
Outsmart the AI
BEDMAS AI adapts to your playstyle across 3 difficulty levels — from casual
practice to ruthless, strategic competition.
🎯
Strategic Depth
Bonus cells, tile management, and equation chaining create layers of strategy
that reward creative mathematical mastery.
How It Works
Simple to learn, hard to master
1
Draw your tiles
Start with 7 number tiles drawn randomly from a pool of 1–100. Operators like +,
−, ×, ÷ and = are free and unlimited.
2
Build a valid equation
Place tiles on the 15×15 board to form a mathematically correct equation —
following BEDMAS order of operations. Chain equations for mega-scores.
3
Score and repeat
Earn points based on your equation's answer, bonus cells hit, and complexity.
Land on ×2 cells to double your score. Highest total wins!
Quick Reference
What BEDMAS stands for
B
Brackets
Everything inside ( ) is calculated first, before any other operation.
E

Powers and roots are resolved next — the rarest, highest-scoring tiles in the game.
D/M
Division & Multiplication
Equal priority. Worked left to right across the equation.
A/S
Addition & Subtraction
Lowest priority, also resolved left to right, last in the equation.
