A crossword made of numbers. 500 puzzles — no two shapes alike. Mathrid turns simple arithmetic into an addictive logic puzzle. Every row and every column of the crossword grid hides a math equation — drag the number tiles into the blanks so all of them add up at once. Easy to pick up, genuinely clever to master, and calm enough to enjoy anywhere. You never guess — you reason. Place one number and a whole line locks in green, pointing you to the next move. That chain of little "aha" moments is what makes this math puzzle so hard to put down. Why you'll love Mathrid - 500 unique puzzles — every single grid is a different hand-crafted shape. No recycled layouts, ever. - True crossword logic — numbers interlock across and down; one smart move unlocks the next. - Instant feedback — a line turns green the second it's correct, red when it isn't. No second-guessing. - Effortless controls — tap a tile then a cell, or simply drag and drop. - Five difficulty levels — Very Easy to Expert. Warm up with addition and subtraction, then grow into multiplication, division and multi-step equations. - Daily Challenge — one fresh number puzzle for everyone, every day. Build your streak. - Smart hints — stuck? A gentle nudge shows your next move without spoiling the solve. - 100% offline — no account, no Wi-Fi needed, no clutter. - Minimalist, relaxing design — a soft, distraction-free board that's easy on the eyes. Love sudoku, kakuro or cross-math puzzles? Mathrid gives you the same logical satisfaction with a fresh twist: real equations instead of digit rules. Perfect brain training in two calm minutes — or a deep Expert-level workout. Great for every age. Kids sharpen mental math — addition, subtraction, times tables, division — while adults get a genuinely smart logic game. No timers rushing you, no endless pop-ups. Just you and the grid.
