Every puzzle has exactly one answer. You can always think your way to it. No guessing. No dead ends. No ads. Solvara is a math crossword. Drag number tiles from the bank into the grid. Fill it until every row and column is true. HOW IT PLAYS Each row and column is a small math fact, like 4 + 6 = 10. The tiles you need are in the bank below the board. Place them all and the board is solved. A row flashes green the moment it is right. THREE LEVELS Easy, Medium, and Hard. Hard does not mean bigger numbers. It means deeper thinking: more steps of logic before each tile is forced. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily puzzle is free at every level. Solve it and your streak grows. Miss a day? A streak freeze can cover it. You earn one for every 7 solves. HINTS THAT TEACH Stuck? A hint points at a spot first, then shows the logic, then places one tile so you finish the row yourself. You get 3 free hints in every game. FREE TO PLAY 50 Easy games, 10 Medium, and 5 Hard, all free. Finish a set and you can replay it as much as you like. Nothing ever locks.
