How Level works

You get twelve things that share one hidden number, such as weight or population. Put four on Side A and four on Side B so the two sides add up as evenly as you can. Three weighs show each side's share of the total, then you lock in. Two new puzzles arrive at 00:00 UTC every day, classic and hard. Level is free and needs no signup.
