I don't understand the solution rules for exponents.

In a 7-cell puzzle using numbers 1 through 7,
when there's a 7^ condition in an L-shaped 3-cell cage,
does that mean the possible solutions are 7, 1, and any number from 1 to 7?

I understood it as 7^1^1 to 7. Is this interpretation correct?

If there are any posts that help understand how to solve exponents, please share the links.

Regarding the question posed in the third line of your post, the answer is yes, the possible solutions are 7, 1, and any number from 1 to 7.

This is because it can be written as 7^(1^X), where X is any number from 1 to 7.

Hope this helps.
