Sum Shuffle

Sum Shuffle takes the simple concept of addition and transforms it into a strategic tile-shuffling puzzle that requires both mathematical calculation and spatial planning. The game presents you with a grid of numbered tiles that can be moved and rearranged, and your goal is to organize them so that specific rows, columns, or groups sum to target values.

This creates a unique challenge where you must think simultaneously about arithmetic and spatial arrangement—knowing that 5 + 3 = 8 isn't enough; you also need to figure out how to get those tiles into positions where they can combine to reach your target.

The shuffling mechanic makes addition feel tangible: you physically move numbers around, seeing how different arrangements create different sum possibilities. The game teaches you to recognize number relationships quickly: you'll start to see that certain number combinations are more flexible, that some targets require specific tile arrangements, and that planning your moves ahead prevents getting stuck.

1. Examine the grid of numbered tiles and identify your target sum values
2. Click and drag tiles to rearrange them on the grid
3. Position tiles so that rows, columns, or groups add up to the required sums
4. Plan your moves strategically to satisfy multiple sum requirements simultaneously
5. Use spatial reasoning to see how tile arrangements affect sum possibilities
6. Complete levels by organizing all tiles to meet the mathematical sum targets
