## Description

Move one match and a wrong equation turns right. 144 hand-made puzzles, a daily challenge and a streak to keep alive. No timers, no rush.

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
• 144 hand-validated levels, from gentle warm-ups to two-move brain-benders
• No timers, no pressure — think as long as you like
• Three stars for solving without hints. Can you collect all 432?
• Daily Challenge: a new puzzle every calendar day, with a streak to keep alive
• 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.

The game works offline: all 144 levels ship with the app, no account is needed, and your progress stays on your device.

The game is free and ad-supported: watch a short video for a hint, and every 10 levels you complete earn you one more for free.

A calm puzzle for five minutes or a whole evening. Brain exercise without the stress.
