FAQ: Sumplete

What is Sumplete? 
Sumplete is a logic-based numbers puzzle where you delete numbers from a grid until each row and column matches its target sum.

 

How do I play Sumplete? 
Each cell starts as unknown. Tap once to delete 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 total correctly. 

 

Do I add numbers to the grid? 
No. All numbers are already filled in. The challenge is deciding which ones to remove. 

 

What do the numbers on the edges mean? 
Those are the target sums. The remaining numbers in that row or column must add up exactly to that value. 

 

How do I know if a row or column is correct? 
When a row or column reaches its correct total, the sum indicator lights up. 

 

What does it mean when all sums are lit? 
That means you’ve solved the puzzle and won the game. 

 

What grid sizes can I play? 
Unlimited mode includes grids from 3x3 for beginners up to 9x9 for expert players. Daily mode offers 5x5 and 7x7 versions. 

 

Is there a daily puzzle? 
Yes. Daily challenges offer the same puzzle to everyone, with different grid sizes for added difficulty. 

 

Is Sumplete free to play? 
Yes. You can play as many puzzles as you like. 

 

What’s the best grid size for beginners? 
A 3x3 grid on Easy difficulty is the quickest way to learn the core mechanics. 

 

Is Sumplete similar to Sudoku? 
It shares a grid-based structure, but the gameplay is different. Instead of filling in numbers, you remove them. 

 

Do I need to be good at math? 
Basic addition is all you need. Logical deduction is more important than speed or advanced math skills. 

 

Can I change my move if I make a mistake? 
Yes. You can cycle a cell back to its unknown state at any time.
