I made a new web-based puzzle game called Mathstick, inspired by the classic matchstick brain teasers.

The rule is simple: move one and only one matchstick to fix the equation. The twist: every puzzle is programmatically generated, with increasing difficulty across 10 levels.

You earn matchsticks by solving puzzles and use them to unlock higher levels. Since puzzles are randomly generated, even replaying earlier levels gives you fresh challenges — a small but fun way to keep exploring.

No downloads, no logins, just play in your browser (desktop or mobile): https://www.trangram.com/games/mathstick

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Beautiful game, but I got stuck on level 3. 5 + 4 = 5

I can't see a solution- am I missing something?
