can you make the magic square?
№ 1Magicy is a free daily magic square puzzle. Everyone gets the same square each day, and your job is to place the numbers from the tray, each exactly once, so that every row, every column and both diagonals add up to the same magic total. It's a satisfying blend of adding up and logic.
Early in the week it's a 3×3 square using nine evenly spaced numbers, such as 4, 7, 10 and so on, so the total changes every day. Later in the week it's a 4×4 square using 1 to 16, where every line adds up to 34. A few numbers are already placed. Tap a square, then tap a number from the tray; used numbers grey out, and a number used twice is outlined. Running totals at the end of each row and column, and for both diagonals, show how each line is doing and turn gold when they hit the magic total. When every square is filled, press Check: wrong squares are marked with a ✕ so you can fix them. Every puzzle is checked by a solver to have exactly one answer, and the 4×4 squares can always be finished without guessing, one forced line at a time.
You have six attempts. Solving it on your first check earns 12 points, then 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 for checks two to six. Each check marks the cells that are wrong. Stuck early on? The helper fills in one correct cell for you, but it halves the day's score and is only available during your first three checks.
Your play streak counts the days in a row you've played, and your solved streak counts the days in a row you've solved the puzzle. Play seven days running and you earn a 7-point bonus, or 14 points if you solved all seven. Miss a day and the streaks start again. A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.
