Shift the Match

The classic matchstick puzzle, rebuilt for your pocket. An equation is laid out in matchsticks, and it is wrong: 4 + 3 = 6. Move a single match to make it true. Easy at first — then a lot less so. WHAT'S INSIDE • 192 hand-validated levels, from gentle warm-ups to two-move and three-number brain-benders • Endless mode: fresh puzzles forever, slowly getting harder • No timers, no pressure — think as long as you like • Three stars for solving without hints. Can you collect all 576? • Daily Challenge: a new puzzle every day, a streak to keep alive and an archive of the last month • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with today's puzzle • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Two-stage hints: first which match to pick up, then where to put it • iPhone and iPad, fully localized in English and Russian HOW TO PLAY Tap a match to pick it up, tap an empty groove to drop it there. Make the equation true and hit Check. The "=" sign is fixed, and on "+" and "−" only the vertical stroke moves — so a plus can become a minus, and back again. FAIR RULES Your answer is never auto-checked: you confirm it yourself with the Check button. Got it wrong? Try again — attempts are unlimited.
