Number Match name and variant guide
Number Match vs Numberama and Take Ten: What Is Different?
Number Match, Numberama, Take Ten, and Match Ten usually describe the same make-ten puzzle family, but individual apps differ in paths, deals, board guarantees, and progression.
The shared puzzle idea
All common variants remove equal digits or pairs totalling ten, then use the empty spaces to create new connections.
- Equal pairs and totals of ten
- A board that becomes more open over time
- Remaining digits can be copied or extended
Rules that vary between products
Some versions only connect adjacent digits or row-order neighbours, while others support straight horizontal, vertical, and diagonal paths. Deal limits and row compaction also vary.
- Check diagonal support
- Check row-end connections
- Check how many deals each difficulty allows
What MirthTable adds
MirthTable uses deterministic solvable openings and combines the classic puzzle with three difficulties, hints, scoring, combos, daily history, and shareable same-board challenges.
- The same seed recreates the same opening
- Daily completions stay on the device
- A challenge link includes the board, difficulty, and score to beat
