Drag the variables
Colour key
Step 1 — Enter coefficients
Enter the coefficients of the trinomial in x and y.
Step 2 — Extract negative sign
Step 3 — Extract common factor
Step 4 — Cross method
Drag numbers from the factor pairs into the four slots, then check whether the cross products give the correct xy term.
Factor Blaster
Expand: match the factored form to its expansion (4 answers).

One shot per question — the round ends after your chosen number of questions, then you get a summary.
How to play
Use arrow keys or WASD to guide the snake. Eat the correct factorization for the trinomial shown above the board. There is no time limit. You have 3 lives, clear 5 levels to win, and avoid walls or your own body.
Normal: eat the correct factor pair in one step. Advanced: first eat the common factor, then eat both correct linear factors.
Controls: Arrow keys / WASD · Mobile: use the direction pad · Click Start Snake to begin
