Sparkora: Matchstick Puzzle
Move sticks, solve equations
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Move one match and the sum works. 120 solver-checked levels, a shared daily puzzle, and a Lab that finds every answer to any matchstick riddle you feed it.
A sum built out of matchsticks that does not add up. Move exactly one match and it does. That is the whole game — and the moment you finally see it, it looks obvious.
6 + 4 = 4 is wrong. Lift one match off the six, lay it back down, and suddenly it reads 0 + 4 = 4. No trial and error, no luck: just the small click in your head when the answer arrives.
THE MATCH LAB — POINT IT AT ANY RIDDLE
- Saw a matchstick riddle on a napkin, in a group chat, on a social feed? Lay it out here
- Pick the rule — move one, move two, add one, take one away — and get every single answer
- The search is exhaustive, not a guess: when it says there is no answer, no answer exists
- It runs entirely on your phone, in a fraction of a second, with no connection
- Nothing else settles an argument about a matchstick riddle this fast
120 LEVELS, EVERY ONE CHECKED BY THE SOLVER
- Six chapters that heat up from First Spark to Inferno, twenty puzzles each
- Early chapters forgive you with several possible fixes; the last ones demand the one right move
- A closing chapter where a single match is not enough and you have to move two
- Every shipped puzzle was verified solvable before it was written to the app, so you are never stuck on something broken
A FRESH SPARK EVERY DAY
- One shared puzzle a day, identical for every player on earth, built from the date alone
- Monday is gentle, the week heats up, and Sunday is a two-match day
- Build a streak and watch the month fill in on the calendar
- Share how fast you cracked it with a single tap
HONEST HINTS, NOT A PAYWALL
- Ask and the coach points at the exact match to pick up; ask again and it shows where it goes
- The first hint of every puzzle is free
- Undo and restart are always free, unlimited, and cost you nothing — a mistake is never the end of a board
- No timer rushing you, no lives to run out, no move limit to fail
SEE HOW ELSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE
- Solve a puzzle and the app lays out every other legal fix in matches, not in text
- Some puzzles have one answer, some have four, and knowing which is half the fun
- It is the fastest way there is to learn the tricks: a plus is only a minus with one extra match
- Ten becomes nine, six becomes zero, five becomes six — you start seeing the moves before you make them
STATS BUILT FROM REAL PLAY
- The share of puzzles you cracked with no hint at all, which is the number worth chasing
- A solve-time trend across your last ten puzzles
- A consistency heatmap of the last fifteen weeks
- This week against last, your best day of the week, and your personal records
- 40 badges across 10 families, from your first solve to a hundred-day streak
PERFECT FOR
- Anyone who likes a brain teaser with one right answer rather than a lucky one
- People who grew up on matchstick riddles in newspapers and puzzle books
- Parents and teachers looking for real mental arithmetic that does not feel like homework
- Commuters, waiting rooms, long flights: it never needs a signal
- Anyone who has ever stared at a matchstick riddle online and wanted to know for certain whether it even has an answer
