What Happened? Math Puzzle Generator (WINDOWS ONLY EXE)
What Happened? Puzzle Generator (Windows EXE)
What Happened? is a Windows desktop puzzle generator that creates two-grid number logic puzzles where players must discover the hidden rule connecting the numbers.
Each puzzle shows:
- A left grid with original numbers
- A right grid with results after a single mathematical rule is applied
The rule is the same for every cell, and the challenge is to figure out what happened to the numbers.
What This Program Does
This program generates print-ready puzzle pages and solution pages automatically.
You can create puzzles where the rule involves:
- Addition or subtraction
- Multiplication or safe integer division
- Digit sums and digit order
- Reversing digits
- Even/odd logic
- Conditional rules
Each puzzle uses one rule only, making the logic fair, clean, and solvable.
Difficulty Levels
- Easy – All numbers are visible
- Hard – Some values are hidden
- Extreme – More values are hidden for advanced logic solving
Hidden cells increase difficulty without adding trick rules. The player must find the rule and solve the remaining numbers.
