What is the goal of Fruit Box?

Select rectangular groups of numbered apples that add up to exactly 10. Clear as many apples as possible within 120 seconds; removing all 170 is a perfect game.

Can a Fruit Box selection include empty spaces?

Yes. Previously cleared cells have a value of zero, so a valid rectangle may cross empty spaces. Every uncleared apple inside the rectangle still counts toward the total.

How does scoring work?

Each apple you clear is worth one point, regardless of its printed number. A selection containing four apples scores 4 points as long as their values total 10.

Is every board possible to clear?

Yes. This version generates each daily board with a verified removal sequence, so a 170-point clear is possible when the correct rectangles are selected.

Does Fruit Box have levels?

No. Fruit Box is one timed 120-second round rather than a level campaign. The challenge naturally increases as the board becomes sparse and valid rectangles become harder to spot.

Can I play Fruit Box on mobile?

Yes. The game works in a modern mobile or desktop browser. Drag with a finger on touchscreens or use a mouse or trackpad on desktop.

Fruit Box game overview

Fruit Box: make 10 and clear every apple

Fruit Box is a free online number puzzle that combines quick mental arithmetic with visual scanning. Drag a rectangle around numbered apples whose total is exactly 10, then clear as many of the 170 apples as you can before the 120-second timer ends. There are no levels or downloads: every play is one complete browser-based round.

Drag to make 10

Draw a rectangle around one or more numbered apples. The selection clears only when every active apple inside adds up to exactly 10.

Clear a daily board

The 17 by 10 board changes each day and is built with a complete solution, so all 170 apples can be removed with the right sequence.

Race the clock

Each cleared apple is worth one point. Score as high as possible in 120 seconds or finish early with a 170-point perfect clear.

How to play

How to play Fruit Box

Fruit Box uses one simple action from start to finish. The challenge is choosing rectangles quickly without trapping useful combinations for the endgame.

1
Scan the numbered apples
Look for nearby values that total 10, such as 4 + 6, 2 + 3 + 5, or a larger group of small numbers.
2
Drag a rectangular selection
Press or click, drag across the board, and include every apple you want to count. The frame turns red when the selected total reaches 10.
3
Release to clear and score
Let go while the sum is exactly 10. Every apple inside disappears and adds one point to your score; an invalid selection leaves the board unchanged.

Game rules

Fruit Box rules and scoring

These settings stay the same throughout the round. Cleared cells become empty spaces and can be included in later rectangles without affecting their sum.

Fruit Box rules and scoring
Rule	Setting	What it means
Board size	17 columns × 10 rows	A full board starts with 170 numbered apples.
Apple values	1 to 9	There is no single apple numbered 10; every clear contains at least two apples.
Valid move	Rectangle totals 10	All remaining apples inside the dragged rectangle count toward the total. Empty cells count as zero.
Scoring	1 point per apple	Clearing two apples earns 2 points; clearing five apples at once earns 5 points.
Round end	120 seconds or 170 points	The round ends when time expires or immediately after every apple has been cleared.

Round strategy

Plan from the opening scan to the final apple

The rules never change during a run, but the board does. As apples disappear, empty spaces create new long-range rectangles while the remaining matches become harder to notice. A steady scanning pattern is more reliable than random dragging.

Opening scan

Clear obvious pairs and compact groups first. The dense opening board offers many independent sum-10 rectangles.

120-90s

Use the empty spaces

Look across cleared gaps for larger rectangles. Empty cells do not change the sum, so they can connect distant apples.

90-45s

Precision finish

Scan the remaining rows and columns in order. Use a hint if one valid rectangle is difficult to see.

45-0s

Game tips

Fruit Box strategy tips

Prefer larger groups

A 2 + 3 + 5 rectangle scores 3 points, while a 4 + 6 pair scores 2. Larger valid groups improve your score with one drag.

Check the whole rectangle

Do not count only the corners or a single row. Every active apple inside the frame contributes to the selected sum.

Use hints to restart your scan

The hint highlights one valid rectangle without clearing it. Use it when you are stuck, then continue scanning from that area.
