About Number Match
Play Number Match online for free. Clear the board by selecting two tiles that are either equal or sum to 10 — the tiles must be adjacent, or have a clear line between them with only empty spaces in the way. Clear every tile to win.
How to play Number Match
- Tiles can be matched if they're equal (like 4 and 4) or sum to 10 (like 6 and 4).
- Two tiles can be matched if they're directly adjacent, in the same row or column with only cleared cells between them, or adjacent diagonally.
- Matched tiles clear from the board, opening up new adjacent pairs.
- Clear the entire board to solve the puzzle — a shuffle button helps if you get stuck.
Tips & strategy
- Scan the edges of the board first — tiles there often have fewer neighbors to check.
- Clearing a tile can open up a long-distance match across a row or column, so recheck after every move.
- Prioritize matches that unblock the most other tiles rather than the first pair you spot.
