Connect the numbers. Hit the target. Build your next great chain. Chain Math is a number puzzle game where quick thinking meets strategy. Connect neighboring tiles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to match the target. Mix in minus tiles, multipliers, and wildcards to make every board your own. PLAY YOUR WAY Take your time in Classic or race the clock in four Timed games: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes. Build consecutive matches into a combo and chase your personal best. A FRESH DAILY CHALLENGE Clear the daily board in Daily Clear. Race through five targets in Gauntlet. Find efficient chains and use fewer tiles in Par. Wind down with Nightcap on a calm, dark board, with no clock and no rush. STRATEGIC POWERUPS Freeze or slow the timer, connect non-adjacent tiles with Number Hop, reshuffle the board, or add minus tiles and wildcards. Clock powerups are for Timed games; tactical tools work in Classic and Timed. Earn them through play, claim daily rewards, or choose a pack in the shop. See your owned powerups in the shop before starting a game. ACHIEVEMENTS AND COMPETITION Work toward clear goals with visible progress and tier rewards.

About

Number Sum Puzzle

Features
Read full description

Sumora is a relaxing number game where one simple idea turns into hours of satisfying play. On a 5x5 grid of big, bold tiles, drag your finger across neighboring numbers — up, down, sideways, or diagonally. When the numbers along your path add up to the target, the tiles burst, fresh ones drop in, and your score climbs. Easy to learn, hard to put down. Keep solving without pause to build COMBOS that multiply your score, and watch the whole world change color as you go — from sunny village roads to green forests, rainbow bridges, purple hills, and glowing dawn skies. Special tiles shake things up: ×2 tiles double your score, and bomb tiles clear everything around them. HOW TO PLAY - Drag across connected numbers (diagonals count!) - Make their sum match the target at the top - The path clears and you score — longer paths are worth far more - Solve again quickly to grow your combo multiplier - Keep going and beat your best score FEATURES - Simple one-finger controls anyone can pick up - Big, easy-to-tap tiles — your finger never hides the board - Deep scoring: long paths + combos = huge points - Special ×2 and bomb tiles for big plays - Five hand-painted color worlds that shift as you play - Glossy, candy-bright tiles and satisfying sounds - An animated guide that teaches you in seconds - Colorblind mode and gentle haptics - Free to play How high can you score?
