Number Soup: Digit Word Search
A fast number word-search: drag across connected digits in any straight direction to clear every target before the timer ends.
How to Play
- 1Read the chips at the top. Each shows a multi-digit number hidden in the digit grid.
- 2Drag in a straight line through connected cells: horizontal, vertical, or any diagonal.
- 3A match can read forward or backward along that line. When it matches a target, it clears and you score.
- 4Backtrack along your drag to undo the last step without lifting your finger or mouse button.
- 5Find every target before the timer hits zero. A wrong attempt breaks your combo but does not remove points.
Trains visual scanning, selective attention, and working memory while you trace multi-digit targets in a dense digit grid under time pressure.
About This Game
Number Soup is a fast-paced number word-search: a field of single digits hides multi-digit targets that can run horizontally, vertically, or along any diagonal, forward or backward. You never type; you drag a continuous straight line through connected cells, backtracking on the same stroke if you overshoot.
The cognitive load blends visual scanning, selective attention, and short-term retention of several candidate paths while the timer pushes pace. Combo scoring rewards consecutive valid finds, so mapping several numbers before dragging can beat reactive one-at-a-time play. Wrong attempts reset the combo but do not erase base points, keeping tension high without harsh punishment.
Progression is an endless ladder grouped into playful worlds every 10 levels, each tightening targets, grid density, or time. Random grid presets change how much information is on screen at once, while the layout still fits the viewport so you never scroll. Ideal for commuters, puzzle fans who like word searches but want digits, and anyone chasing three-star clears in under a minute.

Goal
Find every multi-digit target shown in the chips by tracing a continuous straight path through the grid before the round timer expires. Earn stars by speed and completeness; at least one star unlocks the next level.
Difficulty
Every 10 levels advance a named world with its own palette and challenge curve. Sessions randomly pick Cozy (large cells, fewer digits), Standard (balanced), or Challenge (dense board, smaller cells). Stars reward finishing quickly with every target found; you can replay any cleared level to improve your best score.
