How to play

Split. Move. Balance.

1

Balance every line

Make every row and every column add up to the target shown above the board.

2

A number splits in half

422

For even numbers, equal halves stay and move. For odd numbers, the larger half stays: 5 → 3 stays + 2 moves.

3

Move like a rook

Choose any destination in the same row or column. You can cross over occupied cells, but never move diagonally.

The key insight

↔ Horizontal moves change column totals.
↕ Vertical moves change row totals.

4

Plan within the limit

Each split uses one move. Sometimes you’ll add to a cell now so you can split the larger result later.
