How Puzzle #607 Works
This is Number Salad puzzle #607, named "Ready To Add", published July 20, 2026. You are given 6 tiles — 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 30 — and must reach 5 separate targets with them, the highest being 97. Every expression above uses only these tiles and lands on its target exactly.
The targets are ordered roughly by difficulty. Early ones fall out of two tiles and a single operation, while the last usually need most of the set plus a subtraction to pull the total back into range — that is the step people miss, because it is tempting to treat the tiles as a pile to add up rather than a set you can push past the target and then come back from. Because more than one combination can hit the same number, the lines above are worked examples rather than unique answers.

3 Tips for Number Salad #607
Take 97 first
It is the largest target on puzzle #607, so it is the one with the fewest routes — and the biggest tile you hold is 30. Solve the hardest target while the whole tile set is still in front of you; the smaller ones (down to 2) have far more ways in.
The tiles are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 30
Every one of the 5 targets on this board is reached from these 6 numbers alone, and a tile can be used once inside a single expression. Write them down in order before you start — seeing them sorted makes the multiplication pairs obvious.
One expression is enough
A target only has to be hit once, and the routes in the table above are worked examples, not the only answers. If your arithmetic reaches the same number a different way, the game accepts it. Puzzle #606 is the one before this and #608 comes next; the full Number Salad index holds 593 puzzles.

How to Solve a Word Salad Board
Three moves that clear a Word Salad board, in the order worth making them.
Read every category name first
The category names are the whole clue. Reading all of them before you move a single word tells you which groups are narrow and which are broad, and the narrow one is always the cheapest place to start.
Place the words only one group can take
Some words fit two categories on sight and some fit exactly one. Placing the unambiguous ones first shrinks the pool for everything else, which is what turns a stuck board into a solved one.
A full category is a finished category
Once a group has all its slots filled, nothing else belongs in it — and every word you have left belongs somewhere else. Working by elimination beats re-reading the same word against the same category.
