Exactly · arrow number puzzle
Hit the target.
Exactly.
Every tile carries a number and an arrow. Tap a tile whose path to the edge is clear and its number joins your total. Plan the order, land on the target exactly, and don't go over.
How it works
Plan the order
-
Tap a free tile. A tile can leave only when nothing stands between its arrow and the edge.
-
Its number joins your total. Each tile that leaves frees the way for others.
-
Land on the target exactly. One over and the round is lost. Fewer moves earn more stars.

Questions
Good to know
Is Exactly free?
Yes. Every puzzle can be played for free, including the daily puzzle, the weekly challenge and the seasonal events.
Are there ads?
Now and then there's a short ad between puzzles, never during one, and none until you've solved your first 10 puzzles. You can also choose to watch a video for an extra life.
What does "Remove ads" do?
It's a one-off purchase (£2.99 in the UK; the game shows the price in your currency) that removes the ads and gives you unlimited lives. There's no subscription. It's tied to your Google account, so it comes back if you reinstall or move to a new phone.
How do lives work?
You have five. You lose one if your total goes over the target, or if you reset or leave a puzzle after making a move. Undo never costs a life. A life comes back every 30 minutes, or you can watch a short video for one straight away.
Are there hints?
No, never. Every puzzle has been checked to be solvable, and the stars tell you how few moves the best route takes, so you know when there's a shorter way.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. Exactly is on Android first, and an iPhone version may follow. Follow along on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube for news.
Do I need an internet connection?
No, the puzzles play offline. Ads, purchases and Google Play Games (achievements and cloud save) need a connection when they're used.
Will I keep my progress on a new phone?
Yes, if you sign in to Google Play Games: your progress and achievements are saved to your Google account and come back on your new phone. Without it, progress stays on the device.
Can it remind me about the daily puzzle?
Yes, if you'd like it to. The reminder is off until you turn it on in Settings → Daily reminder. You pick the time, and it only appears on days you haven't solved the daily yet.
Can I make the text bigger?
Yes. Settings → Appearance has Large and X-Large text, light and dark themes, and colour schemes, some of which you unlock by playing.
What data does the game collect?
Usage statistics about how the game is played (such as puzzles finished, moves and stars), without your name, email address or advertising ID, so the puzzles can be improved. You can turn them off in Settings → Usage stats. Ads come from Google AdMob, which asks for your consent where the law requires it. The privacy policy has the details.
Can I help test updates or future games?
Yes, please! Testers get new versions early through Google Play and can send feedback straight from the game. It's Android only for now, and all you need is a Google account. Ask to join.
I found a bug or have an idea.
Use Settings → Send feedback in the game, which adds details that help fix problems, or email hello@songbirdgames.com.
