    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What is&amp;nbsp;Sumplete?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Sumplete is a logic-based numbers puzzle where you&amp;nbsp;delete&amp;nbsp;numbers from a grid until each row and column matches its target sum.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How do I play&amp;nbsp;Sumplete?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Each cell starts as unknown. Tap once to&amp;nbsp;delete&amp;nbsp;a number, tap again to mark it as kept, and tap a third time to reset. Your goal is to make every row and column&amp;nbsp;total&amp;nbsp;correctly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Do I add numbers to the grid?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;No. All numbers are already filled in. The challenge is deciding which ones to remove.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What do the numbers on the edges mean?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Those are the target sums. The remaining numbers in that row or column must&amp;nbsp;add up&amp;nbsp;exactly to that value.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How do I know if a row or column is correct?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;When a row or column reaches its correct total, the sum indicator lights up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What does it mean when all sums are lit?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;That means&amp;nbsp;you’ve&amp;nbsp;solved the puzzle and won the game.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What grid sizes can I play?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Unlimited mode includes grids from 3x3 for beginners up to 9x9 for expert players.&amp;nbsp;Daily mode offers 5x5 and 7x7 versions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is there a daily puzzle?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. Daily challenges offer the same puzzle to everyone, with different grid sizes for added difficulty.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is&amp;nbsp;Sumplete&amp;nbsp;free to play?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. You can play as many puzzles as you like.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What’s&amp;nbsp;the best grid size for beginners?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;A 3x3 grid on Easy difficulty is the quickest way to learn the core mechanics.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is&amp;nbsp;Sumplete&amp;nbsp;similar to Sudoku?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;It shares a grid-based structure, but the gameplay is different. Instead of filling in numbers, you remove them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Do I need to be good at math?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Basic addition is all you need. Logical deduction is more important than speed or advanced math skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Can I change my move if I make a mistake?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes. You can cycle a cell back to its unknown state at any time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
