Puzzleship Tallies

Tallies is a daily logic puzzle where your mission is to mark cells in a grid as keep or delete so the sum of kept cells in every row and column matches the target number.

You're given a grid filled with numbers and a target sum for each row and column. Click a cell once to mark it for keeping, click again to mark it for deletion, or click a third time to reset it. Your goal is to figure out which numbers stay and which go so that every line adds up correctly.

• Each row has a target sum displayed at the edge.
• Each column has a target sum displayed at the top or bottom.
• Mark cells to keep or delete. Only kept cells count toward the sum.
• Every row and column must hit its exact target when you add up the kept cells.
• Six different puzzles drop every day.

The logic is pure deduction. If a row needs to sum to 10 and already has a 9 you must keep, you know exactly what else is required. If a column is already at its target, everything else gets deleted.

Why we like it:

• ✅Clean logic with no guessing required if you work methodically.
• ✅Satisfying to watch the grid lock into place as you eliminate possibilities.
• ✅Quick enough for a coffee break but still mentally engaging.

Hint: Start with rows or columns that have very high or very low targets. They often force your hand early and create anchor points for the rest of the grid.
