## What is PutNumber?

PutNumber is a fun puzzle game you can play at your own pace!
Use your finger to slide the number blocks aligned below, and put them on any space on the board you'd like.
You'll need to skillfully group and erase blocks, taking care to place them in a way that doesn't make the board fill up.

■ How to play ■
・ Blocks are erased when you gather more blocks than the number written on the block.
・ Turn the blocks at the bottom around by tapping them.
・ Earn a higher score by erasing multiple numbers at once! (NUMBER LINK)
・ If you get a high score, you can use the C button to erase the selected numbers.

First, try playing at the nice and slow pace of ENDLESS Mode.
For people who want to enjoy the game for a shorter time or want a more intense play experience, we recommend TIMED Mode.

Beginning with version 3, a new mode CURSOR Mode has been added.

A completely free game app, PutNumber is popular for its reputation as a brain teaser that gives your mind a workout.
Since you can play at your leisure, it's perfect for killing time whether commuting or simply waiting.
It's super interesting, so please give it a try!

### 5/5 — 止まらなくなる

*2026-05-22, version 6.17*

出会ったのは数年前ですが今更課金しました！
要望を2点だけ書かせてください
▫️ダークモードがあるとより嬉しいです！
▫️音量調整ができればさらに嬉しいです！
ありがとう！

### 5/5 — 真摯な対応

*2026-04-10, version 6.14*

広告の件でコメントしたところ、すぐに対応いただけました。心より感謝申し上げます。

### 3/5 — 最高に楽しいゲーム

*2026-02-12, version 6.10*

ゲーム自体は最高であるが、どう考えても場に不適切な数字ブロックを出してくる(5が出ないと積むのに5が出ない)等、中々にキツイ。Cボタン(好きな数字を消せる)を意地でも使わせようとしてくる。使う度に広告が出るので、ネットワークを切ってやる事が推奨される

### 5/5 — 好きな曲聴いてやりたいってレビュー多いけど。

*2025-10-08, version 6.7*

このアプリの音符マークを消せば音楽消えて好きなの聞けますよ笑笑

毎日やってて4年目に突入しました！、
とても大好きなアプリです！

### 1/5 — Forced actions

*2025-08-20, version 6.6*

There I was enjoying playing when the app flips away from the game and says would I like to download a different app , choices yes and no, I chose no. But it did not let me leave the page. There was no way to go back to the game unless I did what the app told me to do. I’m not there for the developers. I play the game for myself if they want to develop another game, they cannot force me during their game to do what is only in their interest, not mine

### 5/5 — セーブできるようにして欲しい

*2024-11-29*

またデータが消えた。
1年以上かけてスコア伸ばしていた（80万は超えてたと思う）のに、大変ショックです。
自動保存なのかもしれないけど、こういうバグがあると開くたび不安なので、セーブ機能つけて欲しいです。

**Developer response:** バージョン6.6において、保存プログラムを見直すことによりプレイ中のゲームが初期化されることがある問題を修正しました。
長い間大きな問題が解決できず、大変ご迷惑をおかけしました。

### 3/5 — 面白い

*2024-11-16, version 5.29*

やっていてまだわからないことがある。

### 5/5 — しかのこ

*2024-10-11, version 5.29*

広告も少なくて短くすごい楽しいです^^

### 4/5 — 頭の体操

*2024-08-30, version 5.28*

数字を確認、方向転換、場所を決めて置き、ブロックを消す。単純作業ですが面白いので気分転換に楽しんでいます。

### 5/5 — いいね

*2024-08-25, version 5.28*

ちょっと暇な時に最適
