Tenrow

This game is BRILLIANT! Very cool! A number on a square is the allowance for the column/row selected squares. If you click any square in the same column or row as that numbered square, the number will decrement (go down by one). The goal is to get all the numbers to zero, by clicking just the right squares to get all the numbered square to zero. It's much harder than it looks. It feels a bit like unlocking some alien key - this is really a very beautiful puzzle. The process of unlocking each level is mesmerizing. I will have some idea of what needs to happen, then start to try it out, and see "no this is wrong" and feel some frustration, and by that time I've fallen into the trap and I can't let it go! I really love these puzzles, because they are deceptively simple looking, until making a first attempt and seeing that there is something very clever going on. By the time I find the solution - it's not really a feeling of "oh I solved it!" because it almost feels like the puzzle solves itself when I see that I'm there. There are "legs" of a puzzle that I know "this has to be this way" and then the other parts can slowly unlock. If you aren't sure - give it an hour just to see if you don't get hooked.
