Sumplete

The number-logic puzzle where sums meet strategy

Sumplete

How to Play Sumplete

Sumplete is a number‑logic puzzle inspired by Sudoku, Kakuro, and Hitori—with one key twist. Each row and column has a “sum clue” showing the total value of the numbers that must remain.

 

Your Goal

Decide which numbers to keep and which to delete so that every row and column adds up exactly to its sum clue (i.e., the target numbers along the right and bottom). 

 

How to Mark Cells

Click/tap once → mark as deleted (X)

Click/tap twice → mark as kept (green circle – note: circles are optional but helpful for marking definite keeps)

Click/tap again → return to unknown

 

How to Win

As you correctly keep or delete numbers, the corresponding row or column sum clue will turn bold. When all row and column sum clues are bold, you’ve solved the puzzle!

Enjoy Playing Sumplete
