SUM+SUM
SUM+SUM - Play Online
Grid numbers stack up. Target sums flash at the edges. Click once to keep, twice to delete, three times to reset. Match horizontal and vertical totals or restart the whole board. Logic beats speed here—eliminate the noise, keep the signal, clear the puzzle.
How to Play SUM+SUM
Retain only the numbers that sum to the specified values displayed at the end of each row and column. Click tiles to toggle their state: first tap marks keep, second tap marks delete, third tap resets. When every line matches its target, the level ends and rewards unlock.
Grid Manipulation and Click Cycles
Each numbered tile cycles through three states. One click highlights it green—you've committed to keeping that value. A second click turns it red—marked for removal. A third click clears both flags, returning the tile to neutral. Plan your moves before locking in a decision, because rows and columns must both balance simultaneously to solve the board.
Progression and Reward Chests
Clear levels to earn gold coins. Spend coins on hints when you're stuck or time extensions when the countdown pressure mounts. After finishing a stage, tap the chest icon to collect bonus loot—power-ups, extra hints, or currency multipliers. Three-star ratings appear based on completion speed and hint usage, pushing you to optimize every grid.
Strategy and Pro Tips
Start with rows or columns that have the fewest tiles—fewer variables mean faster elimination. Cross-check totals as you go: if a row needs 12 and you've kept 8, you need exactly 4 more from the remaining tiles. Use the hint button sparingly; it costs coins, but reveals one correct keep/delete choice when you're gridlocked. Restart costs nothing, so experiment freely until the pattern clicks.

FAQ
How do I solve a SUM+SUM grid?
Click each tile once to keep it, twice to delete it, or three times to reset. The sum of kept numbers in every row and column must match the target value displayed at the edge of that line. When all rows and columns simultaneously satisfy their targets, the level completes.
What happens if I run out of time?
The level ends and you must restart. Use the timer button at the top of the screen to spend gold coins and extend the countdown. Watch ads or spend earned currency to keep the clock running when you're close to a solution.
Can I play SUM+SUM on mobile devices?
Yes. SUM+SUM runs in any modern browser on Android, iOS, and desktop. No downloads, no installs—tap the Playgama link and start solving grids immediately. The mobile-optimized UI adapts to portrait and landscape orientations.
How do I earn more gold coins?
Complete levels to collect coins. Three-star performance grants bonus currency. Open the reward chest after each stage for extra loot. Watch ads to multiply your earnings or unlock free hints and time extensions without spending your stash.
What are the best strategies for harder levels?
Tackle rows or columns with fewer tiles first to reduce variables. Cross-reference totals constantly—if a line needs 15 and you've marked 10, only one combination of remaining tiles will work. Restart freely to test hypotheses, and save hints for endgame gridlock when multiple solutions seem valid.
