How it works & FAQHow the number search works
Demti fills a page with rows of random digits and hides the number sequences you choose in them. The sequences run left to right in the rows and can appear more than once.
Because digits look more alike than letters, a number search is often trickier than a word search. It practices looking closely, staying power and handling everyday numbers.
Who is the number search for?
For family caregivers at home and in memory training, you can hide personal numbers: a birth year, an old zip code or a house number. That invites stories and fits well with reminiscence work.
In elementary school, the number search helps with recognizing numbers and place value, for example with answers from the times tables.
Adjusting the difficulty
The number frequency sets how often the sequences appear on the page. Higher means more matches and usually an easier puzzle. Short sequences are harder to find because they can also show up by chance in the random digits.
To check the answers, the sheet can show how many numbers are hidden in total or per row.
Your worksheet in five steps
