I'm creating a puzzle (pictured below). From this grid, how could I output a 10-digit number? The tiles cannot be moved or changed.
Instruction-wise, I would like to provide my players with some minimalist info about how to solve the puzzle, fitting onto a single Scrabble-size tile (see below). So far, the best I've come up with is having a double-sided Scrabble tile like this as a hint:
These give 63 x 11 = 693 and 28 x 28 = 784 (depending on whether you count the number of spots on tiles in all words placed in a particular direction - horizontal or vertical - or sum their tile values). Concatenating these together gives either 693784 or 784693.
This is a good start, but unfortunately these are only 6-digit numbers and I would like to get a 9- or 10-digit number (to mimic a phone number).
Any creative ideas for how I could achieve this, given the setup as in the main image above?
NOTE: I would prefer to use basic mathematical operations only (+, -, * and /) to make sure young teens can play the game.
