The daily number puzzle

What the seed decides

The starting five-by-five grid, every tile that drops in after a clear, and every target. Two players on the same day see the same numbers in the same order, as long as they clear the same tiles.

Always solvable

A number puzzle goes sour when a target has no answer. Tally Tiles builds each target from a real path of tiles on the current board, so there is always at least one way to hit it. Skipping is allowed, but it costs three seconds and your streak.

How it scores

A solve is worth the target times the number of tiles you used, times a streak multiplier that climbs every two correct sums in a row, up to ×4. A wrong sum costs nothing but the streak. Simple arithmetic, a lot of room for skill.

We never post a day's grid, targets or paths.
