Ripple Number Puzzle

RIPPLE is a chain-reaction number puzzle that rewards foresight over guesswork. Each puzzle presents a 5×5 grid of numbered tiles. Tap any tile and it fires a ripple outward — up, down, left, and right — traveling as far as its number dictates, decrementing every tile it reaches. Your goal is simple: clear every tile to zero. The mechanic takes thirty seconds to learn. The depth takes much longer to master. How it works Each tile's value is both its strength and its range. A tile showing 4 sends its wave four steps in every direction. Chain your taps in the right order and a single move cascades into a board-clearing reaction. Get the sequence wrong and you'll find yourself one tile short with nowhere left to go. Daily Challenge Every day brings one new puzzle, the same for every player worldwide. Finish at or under par for a Gold medal, land within three moves for Silver, and anything else earns Bronze. Your 14-day streak heatmap shows how consistently you're showing up — play every day and watch it glow. Free Play Unlimited puzzles at Easy, Medium, or Hard. Solve one and jump straight to the next, or pace yourself through the day. Every puzzle is procedurally generated and guaranteed solvable, with a par score computed by the same solver as the auto-solve button — par is always achievable if you find the right path. Tools that respect your intelligence The hint system uses a 3-step lookahead to recommend the move that makes the most progress. Tap-preview shows exactly which tiles your ripple will reach before you commit. Undo lets you backtrack without resetting the whole board. None of these feel like cheating — they feel like thinking out loud. Medals worth earning Gold finishes trigger a confetti burst. Every result is saved with your move count versus par, so you always know exactly how close you came and how much better you can do. Accessibility Colorblind mode. Haptic feedback toggle.
