Each puzzle uses only a small set of consecutive digits. • Three grid sizes: 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 • Three difficulties — from a quick warm-up to a real brain-teaser • Pencil-mark notes, hints, and unlimited undo • A timer, streaks and per-mode best times • Light and dark themes • A short interactive tutorial for new players • English, Russian, Spanish and French • Plays fully offline — no account, no ads, no tracking Perfect for a few quiet minutes on a break, a commute, or before bed.
