Totalize: Daily Math Puzzle

Totalize turns arithmetic into a satisfying little puzzle.

You get a target number and a handful of number and operator tiles. Arrange every tile on the paper tape so the sum comes out exactly right. Easy to learn, hard to put down.

THE TWIST: ORDER OF OPERATIONS
× and ÷ always happen before + and −, and Totalize makes that visible. A lime band lights up the part of the tape that calculates first, with its sub-result in the margin, so you can finally see why 7 + 3 × 6 − 2 is 23. Solve a few and the rules become instinct.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
The Daily puzzle is the same for everyone, every day. Solve it, stamp it BALANCED, and share your result without spoiling the answer. Build a streak and fill in your monthly calendar.

FOUR LEVELS
• Easy — three numbers, plus and minus
• Medium — bigger numbers
• Hard — four numbers, with multiplication
• Expert — five numbers and all four operators. Unlock it by winning Hard puzzles.

Practice puzzles never run out. Or race the clock in Rush: as many tapes as you can balance in three minutes.

RACE YOUR FRIENDS
Open a race, send the invite, and everyone gets the same puzzles for three minutes. Scores move live, and whoever balances the most wins. Friends can join from the app or a browser, and the countdown waits until everyone's there.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY
Prefer no shortcuts? Switch to Left to right in Settings and every tile is worked out in order, one after another, with the running total shown as you go. Each mode keeps its own puzzles, Daily, streak and stats.

TWO WAYS TO SEE IT
Prefer to read the sum the way you'd write it? Switch the board to Equation in Settings: the tiles sit in one row, the × and ÷ run lights up in place, and two short steps show how it works out.

NO WRONG TURNS
There's no game over. Place tiles with a tap or drag them around, and the tape shows your running result and exactly how far off you are. Rearrange until it balances. Stuck? Three hints per puzzle will place a correct tile for you.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your streaks and stats live on your device and sync through your own iCloud, so a new phone keeps your streak. Racing friends is the only time anything reaches us: the name you race under and your race scores, so everyone in the race can see them. An optional daily reminder is the only notification, and it's off until you turn it on.

Arrange the tiles. Hit the number. Balance the tape.
