🟦 Magic Square

A Magic Square is a grid where every line — horizontal, vertical and both diagonals — adds up to the same magic total.

How to play

1. The magic total is shown beside the grid.
2. Fill each blank cell so all lines match it.
3. Check marks wrong cells red; solve time is your score.

Strategy tips

• Fill any row, column or diagonal that is missing just one cell — the magic total hands you the answer.
• Corners belong to three lines at once; resolving them unlocks the most cells.
• If stuck, re-sum a completed line to confirm the target before placing guesses.
