Move a match. Fix the puzzle. Matchlight is a beautifully dark, flame-lit collection of matchstick puzzles: 8 puzzle types and more than 1,300 puzzles. Move, add or remove the given number of matchsticks to make things right. 8 PUZZLE TYPES • Equations: fix the broken equation — the classic (380 puzzles) • Find Them All: equations with several answers. Can you find every one? • Multiply & Divide: × and ÷ join in, and the signs themselves can change • Roman Numerals: fix equations built from I, V and X • Max & Min: make the biggest (or smallest) number you can • Squares: move matches on a grid to make exactly N squares • Clock: turn the digital clock to the latest (or earliest) time • Inequality: make the < or > statement true CHECKED BY BRUTE FORCE Every puzzle was verified by trying every possible move: it solves in the stated number of moves, single-answer puzzles really have just one answer, and Find Them All lists every answer. No batches of near-identical puzzles.
