How to play Pairs

Clear the board two numbers at a time.

The rules

  1. Tap two numbers that are the same, or that add up to 10.
  2. They must see each other: next to each other across, down or diagonally, with only cleared squares between.
  3. The end of one row connects to the start of the next.
  4. Out of moves? Add Numbers copies what's left onto the end. Clear everything to win.

A quick example

3 and 7 make 10. The two 5s match because only a cleared square sits between them.

Tips

Most puzzles take 3 to 8 minutes.
