Fill every cell. Follow the clues. Find the solution. Unlike is a logic puzzle played with solid and outlined cells. Each number counts its neighbors with the opposite style. Only shared edges count: above, below, left and right. Gold-dot cells are already fixed; every other cell needs a style. LEARN BY PLAYING Four short lessons teach the rule through interactive examples. Open the playing guide during a puzzle, or use a hint to find a clue, understand the deduction and optionally place a cell. KEEP EXPLORING - A 200-level difficulty progression, with more puzzles beyond it. - Daily puzzles and free play at five difficulties. - Undo, redo and Check, plus optional live clue feedback. - Themes, larger tiles, high contrast and reduced motion options. - Choose your preferred language in the app. PROGRESS THAT STAYS WITH YOU Your unfinished puzzle saves on this device, including undo history. Completed levels and stars sync with iCloud when available. No Unlike account or registration is needed. Puzzles can be played offline. Ads may appear after campaign levels from level 4, and after Daily and Free Play puzzles. An optional one-time purchase removes ads in every mode. Additional themes are available individually or through Every Theme, which includes future paid themes. Existing Every Theme owners receive newly added paid themes without another purchase.

About

Equalize

Read full description

Every tile on the board holds a number. A single target appears at the top. Your goal is simple: make every tile match it. Use operation cards such as +1, −2, ×2, and ÷3. Each card affects an entire row or column—never just one tile. Swipe a card across the board and every number in that line changes at once. That simple rule creates the challenge. Fix one tile and you may throw another off. The order of your moves determines whether the board falls into place—or falls apart. SOLVED, NOT SHUFFLED Every board is verified by an exact solver before release. The move count shown is not an estimate; it is the true shortest solution. No impossible levels. No filler. EVERY MOVE MATTERS You receive exactly the operation cards required by the shortest solution, with no extras. Waste a move and the game tells you immediately. Undo is free and unlimited. Stars reflect mistakes made while solving. Using hints does not reduce your stars. A REAL DIFFICULTY CURVE Take on 486 levels across five chapters, from Basics to Master. Boards expand up to 6×6. Later, ×3 and ÷3 introduce competing divisibility rules, while locked tiles add another layer of strategy. The final chapter is called Master for a reason. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Play one new daily board—the same puzzle for every player, available even when you are offline. DESIGNED TO RESPECT YOUR TIME • No account or sign-up • Full offline play • No timers, lives, or energy bars • Available in six languages • Optional hints that are never required to finish a level An optional one-time EQUALIZE PRO upgrade removes automatic ads and grants 60 bonus hints. Optional rewarded ads remain available. Additional hint packs are sold separately. Everything else is complete and playable without spending anything.
