How to Play Number Match
- Match Rules: Select two tiles that are either identical (e.g., 8 & 8) or sum to 10 (e.g., 3 & 7).
- Path Must Be Clear: A straight path between them must have no other numbers. Allowed paths: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or wrap-around along reading order (end of a row to the start of the next).
- Add Numbers: If stuck, press Add Numbers to append all remaining numbers to the end of the grid.
- Goal: Clear every number on the board.
Strategy & Tips
- Scan for obvious pairs (9-1, 8-2, 7-3, 6-4, 5-5) in rows and columns first.
- Use diagonals and wrap-around checks to unlock harder positions.
- Only use Add Numbers when necessary-it often opens new paths, but can also create clutter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which numbers appear?
The board uses 1-9, distributed to ensure plenty of valid 10-sum and identical pairs.
What counts as wrap-around?
Reading order connections across the end of a row to the start of the next are allowed as long as every cell on the path is empty.
