Math Crossword

Math Crossword Puzzle is a number puzzle game that combines arithmetic with the layout of a crossword. Instead of filling a grid with words, you complete connected mathematical equations by placing the correct numbers in the empty cells.

Each level presents a board of incomplete equations and a selection of number tiles. Your task is to work out which number belongs in each space so that every equation is mathematically correct. You will use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with logical thinking and careful observation, to find the right arrangement.

The puzzles begin with simpler challenges and become more difficult as you progress through the game. With 500 levels to solve, you can tackle a puzzle during a short break or spend more time working through the available challenges. If you get stuck, the Hint button can reveal one correct number to help you move forward.

How to Play

1. Examine the board: Look at the connected equations and identify the missing numbers.
2. Check the available tiles: Review the number tiles displayed at the bottom of the screen.
3. Place a number: Drag a tile into an empty cell where you think it belongs.
4. Check the equations: Make sure the numbers create valid mathematical equations. The game provides positive feedback for correct equations and feedback when an equation is incorrect.
5. Use a hint when needed: Select the Hint button to reveal one correct number if you are having difficulty.
6. Complete the puzzle: Continue filling the empty cells until the complete crossword is solved.
7. Move to the next level: Press Next to continue to the following puzzle.

Tips

• Start with the easiest equations. Look for equations with only one missing number or values that make the answer straightforward to calculate.
• Use known numbers to narrow down choices. Calculate what an empty cell must contain before placing a tile.
• Check both sides of the puzzle. Since the equations are connected, a number that works in one equation may also affect another.
• Review the arithmetic operation carefully. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division follow different rules, so make sure you use the correct operation when calculating.
• Use feedback to find mistakes. When an equation is marked incorrect, review its numbers and operation before changing other cells.
• Avoid guessing when you can calculate. Work out the missing value first to reduce unnecessary changes to the board.
• Save hints for difficult situations. Try solving the equations yourself before using the Hint button to reveal a correct number.

Controls

Drag a number tile from the selection at the bottom of the screen into an empty cell on the puzzle board.

• 500 levels: Work through a large collection of puzzles.
• Gradually increasing difficulty: Progress from simpler puzzles to more challenging number arrangements.
• Interactive number tiles: Drag available numbers into empty cells to complete the equations.
• Hint assistance: Reveal one correct number when you need help solving a puzzle.

Strategy Guide

Before placing any tiles, scan the board to identify equations that are easiest to solve. An equation with fewer missing numbers may provide a useful starting point because calculating its answer can help you determine which number belongs in an empty cell.

As you fill the board, consider how the connected equations relate to one another. A number must fit the equation it belongs to, so check the surrounding calculations before settling on a placement. If a completed equation is marked incorrect, revisit the arithmetic and the numbers involved rather than making random changes elsewhere.

As the levels become more challenging, take a more systematic approach. Calculate the missing values you can determine confidently, use those results to assess the remaining spaces, and pay attention to the feedback provided by the game. When you cannot make progress through calculation alone, use the Hint button to reveal one correct number and continue working through the puzzle.
