Zen Ten MatchFrequently Asked Questions
What is Zen Ten Match?
Zen Ten Match is a calm daily number puzzle that doubles as meditation. You clear a board of digits by matching pairs that are equal or add up to ten. There is a new daily puzzle every day, plus two endless modes, Classic and Zen. See How to Play for the full rules.
Is it free?
Yes. The game is free to play in your browser and in the iPhone, iPad and Android apps, and today's daily puzzle is always free. Zen Pass is an optional upgrade (see below).
Do I need an account?
No. You can play straight away without signing up. If you sign in, your progress, streaks and results sync across your devices, and you can use the same account on the web and in the app.
When does the daily puzzle change?
A new daily puzzle starts at midnight in your own time zone. Everyone in the world plays the same board for a given date.
What counts as winning the daily puzzle?
Clearing every number from the board using no more than five Adds. Any clear is a win. You can retry the day's board as many times as you like until midnight, and your best result is kept.
What are titles?
Each daily win earns a title based on how few matches you used, compared with the best solution our solver found for that board. Match the best solution and you are a Zen Master. The other titles, from highest to lowest, are Enlightened One, Master, Disciple, Pilgrim, Seeker, Wanderer and Student.
How do streaks work?
Win the daily puzzle on consecutive days to build a streak. One win per day keeps it going.
