Drag across touching tiles so they add up to exactly 10, clear them, and let new tiles drop in. Longer chains and fast combos pile up a bigger score in this calming ocean-themed number puzzle.
About Tens!
One rule you'll grasp in a second, depth you'll chase for ages. That's Tens!, a moreish little number puzzle. Connect a chain of neighbouring tiles that sums to exactly 10 and they pop. Every clear drops fresh tiles down from the top, so the board keeps shifting and there's always another ten hiding somewhere in it. The chaining is where the trick lives. A clean two-tile 6+4 is fine, sure, but stringing 1+2+3+4 or 5+1+1+3 together scores far more, and if you keep clearing without pausing your combo multiplier climbs. There's no timer and no fail state beyond simply running out of moves, which makes it the perfect game to dip into for a quiet few minutes. A Shuffle button rescues you when the board dries up, and your best score is saved between sessions. Soothing colours, bouncy tiles, rising bubbles. Every ten feels oddly satisfying to snap shut.
Inside Tens!: what we checked
The numbers below come from Tens!'s own source code, and the screenshots are from our own test run of the game (20 October 2026).
- The board is 6 × 8 and every tile is a random digit from 1 to 9. A new board is only accepted if at least one chain that adds to 10 exists.
- A chain can only go up, down, left or right between touching tiles (not diagonally), and the game stops you adding a tile that would take the total over 10. A chain needs at least two tiles.
- A cleared chain scores 10 points per tile. Clearing again within 3 seconds builds a combo that adds 10% per step, up to 90% extra on the tenth link, so a 3-tile chain is 30 points, then 33, then 36.
- A wrong chain of two or more tiles that does not add up to 10 breaks your combo, so it is better to release only when the total reads 10.
- After a clear, the tiles above drop down and new random digits fall in from the top. The game ends when no chain that adds up to 10 exists anywhere on the board.
- Shuffle costs nothing: it rearranges the digits already on the board and tries up to 300 times to leave at least one possible chain, so you can use it on a stuck board and carry on. Your best score is kept in this browser.

How to play Tens!
Press a tile and drag across orthogonally-touching tiles to build a chain, with the running sum shown as you go. Hit exactly 10 and release to clear it and score. You can only add tiles whose total stays at or below 10, and you can back out by dragging onto the previous tile. Cleared tiles vanish, then the columns above drop down to refill. Longer chains and back-to-back clears (combos) score more. If no ten is possible, hit Shuffle.
Controls
Click/tap and drag across connected tiles to chain them to 10, then release. Shuffle reshuffles the board; New game restarts. Fully touch-friendly.
Tips & tricks
- Hunt for long chains, not just two-tile pairs — a four-tile ten scores far more.
- Clear quickly to keep your combo multiplier alive for bonus points.
- Watch which tiles will drop in before you commit to a chain.
- Use Shuffle the moment the board looks stuck rather than forcing a bad pair.
