How do you get around Number Series?
Number Series has three tabs along the bottom — Play, Progress and Friends. Play is where every game lives, with the Dailies row at the top and filters to find a mode for your mood; Progress shows your stats and rewards; Friends is for playing with people you know.
The three tabs
| Tab | What you find there |
|---|---|
| Play | The Dailies row, then every game mode as a card |
| Progress | Your rank and level, the cognitive profile chart, trophies, your Wrap and per-mode stats |
| Friends | Friends, challenges, shared streaks and “Today among friends” — needs a Google sign-in |
Along the top you will also see your avatar (opens your Profile), a Send Feedback button and the Settings gear.
The Dailies row
At the top of the Play tab, Dailies — “Fresh every day. Keep your streaks going.” — holds the games that give you a new puzzle every day: Daily Challenge, Kakuro, Number Cascade, Brain Training and the five Quick Dailies. On a phone, swipe the row sideways to see them all.
Each card shows your streak (🔥) and a tick once today’s puzzle is done. The button changes after you play: a finished Quick Daily offers Endless for extra rounds, Kakuro and Number Cascade offer Practice, and Brain Training offers Practice. The ⓘ button on a card opens its rules.
Finding a game: filters and favourites
Every mode card carries a line like “Sequences · Focused · Medium”. You can filter by any of it:
| Filter row | Chips |
|---|---|
| What you solve | Favourites · Versus · Sequences · Grids · Arcade · Brain |
| Mood and length | Relaxed · Focused · Intense · Quick · Medium · Endless |
The moods mean:
- Relaxed — no way to fail and no clock.
- Focused — either lives (or health) or a soft clock, but not both.
- Intense — a hard countdown and a penalty for mistakes.
Chips in the same row widen the list (Grids or Arcade); chips in different rows narrow it (Grids and Quick). Versus shows the modes you play against other people. Tap the ☆ on any card to make it a favourite — favourites always float to the top.
Your first puzzle
The very first time you play, the app shows you “Here’s how it works” with a worked example, and your first puzzle can’t be lost — if you get stuck, it nudges you and then shows the answer. Every mode also opens with a short tutorial the first time; tick Don’t show again to skip it next time, or bring them all back from Settings → Game → Reset Game Tutorials.
Frequently asked questions
- Why did the Dailies row disappear?
- The Dailies row is hidden while a filter is switched on. Tap Clear at the start of the filter row, or turn the filter off, to bring it back.
- Do my filters stay on next time?
- No. Filters reset each time you come back to the Play tab. Favourites are saved, though — starred modes always stay at the top of the list.
- What is "Jump back in"?
- It is a shortcut to the last mode you played, shown at the top of the Play tab. For Kakuro and Number Cascade it remembers whether you were playing the daily or practice.
