How to play Sumplete
- Open the Daily 5x5 grid and note the grey sum clues at the right and bottom of the grid.
- Tap a number cell once to mark it deleted with a red cross, twice to mark it kept with a green circle, and three times to return it to unknown.
- Use arithmetic to decide which cells must be deleted so each row and column equals its sum clue; a completed line will light up.
- Click a row or column sum clue to auto-mark remaining unknown cells that satisfy that clue, or click a zero sum to mark all cells as deleted.
- Work by small sum clues and corners first, re-scan the grid as marks change, and aim to improve your solve time.
Tips for Sumplete
- Scan sum clues to eliminate impossible cells quickly; if a single cell equals the row sum, mark it kept immediately.
- Start with corner cells because fixing corners constrains both a row and a column and often unlocks other placements.
- Prioritize smaller sum clues early; they require fewer kept cells and clear other possibilities for adjacent lines.
- Use the sum-clue click feature to auto-mark remaining cells for that line, especially useful on larger grids to save time.
- Use circles to mark definite keeps and crosses for deletes, and frequently re-scan rows and columns after each change.
