Every sum across and down has to add up
Math Crosswords turns simple sums into a crossword. Equations run across and down a grid and share cells where they cross, and some numbers are missing. Number tiles wait in a tray below: tap one and then an empty cell, or drag it into place, until every sum adds up. The first level is a single cross with 1 plus a blank making 10, solved with a 9 and a 1.
How to play Math Crosswords
- Look for an equation with only one empty cell.
