## What is NUM//CRUNCH?

NUM//CRUNCH is a number puzzle: clear the board by matching pairs of digits.

Two cells match if they show the same digit or their values add up to 10. Pairs must be adjacent — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — with no active cells blocking the path between them.

The end of each row connects to the start of the next. When cleared cells sit between two digits, you can match across the gap. Clear every cell in a row and that row is removed, opening new paths. Stages get tougher as you progress.

FEATURES

• Simple rules, deep strategy — easy to learn, hard to master
• Stage progression — larger boards and tighter hint/add-row limits at higher stages
• Hints — first hint per stage is free; later hints use in-game coins or a short rewarded video (where available)
• Add rows — no matches left? Append new rows built from remaining digits to keep play going
• Coins — earn coins from matches and stage clears; spend them on hints when you need them
• Combos and speed bonuses — chain quick matches for higher scores
• Global leaderboard — submit your best run and compare with players worldwide (efficiency affects your ranked score)
• Save and resume — progress is saved automatically once you have started playing
• Sound effects — optional; mute from the header anytime
• 9 languages — English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Italian
• No account required — enter a display name when you submit a score, or ignore the leaderboard and play casually

HOW TO PLAY

1. Tap a cell to select it, then tap another to try a match
2. Valid pairs: same digit (e.g. 5 & 5) or digits that sum to 10 (e.g. 3 & 7)
3. The two cells must be adjacent with no active cells between them
4. Clear all active cells to finish the stage and move on
5. Use hints and add rows carefully — both are limited per stage

Free to play with ads. Optional one-time purchase to remove ads.
