Number Island
What is Number Island?
Number Island is a free daily number puzzle that splits a grid into connected groups called islands, each of which must add up to a given target sum. It offers several difficulty levels, from small boards with a few targets to larger “Omniscient” boards with up to fifteen targets. The game is played in a browser and includes an archive of past puzzles.
How to play Number Island
Click adjacent cells that touch horizontally or vertically to form an island, and watch its total against the target list beside the board. When an island’s sum matches a target, both the island and the target are highlighted. Keep forming islands until every target number has been used.
Tips & strategy
- Start with an easier difficulty to learn how islands work; harder modes mainly add more cells and more targets.
- Look for numbers isolated by blocked cells (shown as crosses) — they may already form a ready-made island.
- Work through target numbers from smallest to largest, since small sums have fewer possible combinations.
- If a small group of adjacent cells already matches a target, confirm it early to simplify the rest of the board.
- Use the archive of previous puzzles to get extra practice without waiting for the next daily update.
