About Number Match
Number Match is a puzzle game where you clear a grid filled with numbered tiles. The goal is to remove all tiles by pairing those that are either identical or sum to 10. For example, pairs like 8 & 8 or 3 & 7 can be removed if a clear path connects them.
How to Play
The game shows a grid of numbered tiles. To remove a pair, two conditions must be met:
- The tiles must be the same number or add up to 10 (like 5 & 5).
- A path connecting the tiles must be free of other tiles.
Paths can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or wrap-around, which links the end of one row to the start of the next. Even if tiles match, you cannot remove them if the path is blocked.
If no valid pairs are available, use the “Add Numbers” feature. This moves all remaining tiles to the end of the grid, which can open new matches but also makes the board more crowded. Use this feature carefully.
Tips
- Spot Clear Pairs Early: Look for simple pairs like 9 & 1, 8 & 2, or 5 & 5, especially in rows and columns.
- Check Diagonal and Wrap-Around Paths: These paths can reveal matches you might miss if you only look horizontally or vertically.
- Think Ahead: Removing one pair changes the board and affects future matches. Plan your moves to avoid blocking possible pairs.
Why Play Number Match?

Troubleshooting
If you find no pairs to match and the “Add Numbers” feature does not help, try restarting the level. Make sure you understand the path rules, as blocked paths prevent tile removal. If the game seems stuck, refreshing your browser can resolve temporary issues.
