About Sum Grid

Cross out numbered tiles until the remaining values match every row and column total. Use optional marks to keep track of entries you want to retain.

How to play

Goal
Cross out numbers until the remaining numbers in every row and column add to their shown targets.
How it ends
A board is won when all row and column sums match; there is no loss, and marks can always be changed.
Record
Your first solve time is kept for each board, and the fastest verified first solve appears beside the board and in the page trophy.
  1. The number beside each row or above each column is its target. The current sum is shown above the target.
  2. Click or tap a number once to cross it out; crossed numbers no longer count. Tap again to mark it kept, then again to clear the note. Kept notes are optional.
  3. Balance every row and column to finish. The clock starts when a ledger opens and keeps running through a restart or return to the shelf.

Good to know

The 180 boards are fixed, deducible and independently counted to one answer. No hint or answer key ships in the game. The timer begins when a board opens and never pauses; only a first solve can rank. Progress and reduced-motion preference are kept in this browser. Sound follows the shared site setting.
