Chain Sum

Link neighboring numbers. Use the exact tile count and hit the target sum.

How to play
  1. 1

    Start anywhere, then link only tiles that share an edge — no diagonals.

  2. 2

    Use exactly the number of tiles shown and make their total equal Σ.

  3. 3

    Tap the last tile to undo. Solve as many boards as you can before time runs out.

WHY IT WORKS

Why it works

Chain Sum combines mental addition with spatial planning: every value changes the total, while adjacency limits which number can come next. Instead of answering one equation, you compare possible routes, notice dead ends, and revise a chain before committing.

FAQ

What counts as a valid chain?

Every new tile must share a side with the previous tile, no tile may be reused, and both the required length and target sum must match exactly.

Should I add first or trace a path first?

Do both in short chunks. Find a promising pair, check which neighbors can finish the total, then extend only if the route still fits.
