ZenTenMatch is a relaxing daily number match puzzle that doubles as meditation. You achieve calm through focusing on the puzzle.
Match equal numbers or pairs that sum to 10. Clear the board. Come back tomorrow. The quiet is what full attention leaves behind.
A game you'll learn in ten seconds. A puzzle you'll think about for ten years.
YOU ALREADY KNOW THE FEELING
- NYT Games regulars — Wordle, the Mini, Connections, Strands.
- LinkedIn Games players — Queens, Tango, Crossclimb.
- Sudoku, Solitaire, Kakuro, and Picross players who want something familiar but new.
- Headspace and Calm users looking for an active practice instead of a passive one.
- Anyone who closed a Number Match app because one more ad was one too many.
HOW TO PLAY
- Match two equal numbers, like 4 and 4.
- Or match any two numbers that sum to 10, like 6 and 4.
- Matches work on the same row, column, diagonal, or wrap at the end of a row.
- Every cell between the two numbers must be empty.
- When you run out of matches, tap Add to bring the remaining numbers back as new rows.
- Clear the full board to win.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
- Daily — One solver-tested puzzle for the whole world, every day. Win by clearing the board. Earn higher skill tiers (Wanderer, Seeker, up to a perfect Zen Master) by solving in fewer moves. Build a streak.
- Classic — Five adds per round. Clearing a board refills your adds and starts a new round. Run out of moves and adds, and the game ends. Games can run long if you're skillful, but they end.
- Zen — Unlimited adds. Get stuck by running out of moves, keep adding. The game runs as long as you do. Infinite gameplay for infinite relaxation.
RELAXING BACKGROUNDS AND MUSIC
Hand-selected background scenes and ambient music tracks rotate through your sessions. Rain at a temple. A spring forest. Ocean waves. Wind chimes.
BADGES, STREAKS, STATS
- Daily streaks with opt-in reminders.
- Badges for first clears, clean solves, fast finishes, and mastery of wrap and diagonal rules.
- Lifetime stats: matches made, pairs per board, win rate, best times.

ABOUT ADS
We absolutely hate ads. Every number match game we played had ads, ads, and more ads! Ads pay the bills, but ads also break the practice, so we created a Zen version to keep ads as far from the puzzle as we can. No ads ever interrupt you while you're solving. Rewarded videos are opt-in only, after you've used your free assists — your choice, every time. Any other ads appear only before a game or between boards.
ZEN PASS — $2.99/MONTH OR $9.99/YEAR
You came here to relax. Ads aren't relaxing. So we built the cheapest possible way to skip every ad: $9.99 a year, under three cents a day (or $2.99 a month if you prefer). It's estimated that avid players can spend ten hours a year watching ads. We'd rather charge a few dollars and give you those ten hours of your life back.
Zen Pass unlocks unlimited hints and undos, removes every ad touchpoint, opens the daily puzzle archive, and includes one streak-repair token every two weeks. Compare to $40/year for ad-free mode in other number match apps.

ABOUT THE TEAM
We made ZenTenMatch because a folk schoolroom puzzle deserved better than another ad funnel. We wanted the calm that comes from being fully absorbed in something real, the flow state a challenging Sudoku or a well-timed chess move can put you in. Every solver-tested daily board, every quiet animation, every line of this description is in service of that.
Two minutes. Full attention. Every day.
The puzzle is the practice.
