Addloom
Addloom is a deterministic 5x5 number-selection puzzle where every row and column has two visible requirements: the selected values must match a target sum and the number of selected tiles must match a target count. Free Play offers an endless sequence of verified boards and Daily offers one player-local calendar puzzle, with bounded Undo, explanatory non-mutating Nudge assistance, replay-safe progress, and accessible mouse, touch, and keyboard play.
How to play
Select tiles on the fixed 5x5 number board until every row and column satisfies both visible clues: the selected values must equal the target sum and the number of selected tiles must equal the target count. Free Play continues through deterministic puzzles, while Daily gives one puzzle for the player's local calendar date.

Tips for this game
- Read sum and count together. A line is solved only when both the selected-value total and selected-tile count match their targets.
- Use Undo when a choice makes a line impossible. Nudge explains one fact derived from the public clues but never selects a tile for you, and using it marks the puzzle Assisted.
- Free Play begins with easier boards before moving to Standard puzzles. Daily uses the same visible-clue rules and preserves an unfinished prior-date board until you explicitly move to today's puzzle.
Common questions
Does Addloom hide a secret answer behind the clues?
Normal play feedback is derived from the visible row and column sum/count clues. The game does not compare your taps against a shipped secret answer mask.
What does Nudge do?
Nudge explains one deduction supported by the public clues without changing the board. A successful Nudge marks the current puzzle Assisted.
