Cross Number — Math Puzzle is a free iPhone game that mixes crossword-style grids with arithmetic problems.

The puzzles are designed to sharpen reasoning and focus, and with thousands of levels available it echoes traditional pen-and-paper number games with a modern twist.
How you play
- Work through numbered clues to fill the grid with digits that satisfy both the math and positional rules.

- Relaxed, untimed gameplay creates a calm, stress-free experience.
Accessibility and user experience
The app’s interface is designed to be clear and easy to navigate: font sizes can be increased for readability, and controls are straightforward so both new and returning players can jump in quickly. Hints and gentle guidance are available for anyone who needs occasional assistance.
