Tallies fills a grid with numbers and gives each row and column a target. You decide which numbers to keep and which to delete so the kept ones add up to every target at once.
About Tallies (Puzzleship)
Tallies is a grid of numbers with a target beside every row and column. You mark each cell kept or deleted, and only kept cells count. A number sits in a row and a column at the same time, so deleting it to fix one total changes another, and no decision is ever local.
The arithmetic stays simple; the difficulty is in the interaction. A line whose undecided cells already add up to its target keeps them all, a line already at its target deletes the rest, and any cell larger than its row or column target goes straight away.
Puzzleship publishes six grids of Tallies a day, graded from very easy to ultra hard. Each day's grids are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and go live at 13:00 UTC (the page says midnight your time, but the set changes at 13:00 UTC); earlier days stay playable in the archive. Puzzleship is run by Brainzil, LLC. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them.

Tips
- Delete any number bigger than its row or column target first.
- If a line's undecided cells sum to exactly what is missing, keep them all.
- When a line needs one more number, the shortfall tells you which.
- If no cell can make up the shortfall, an earlier decision was wrong.
