Ah good feedback! Just to be clear, 0s _are_ the frozen squares. But maybe I can make that clearer. Thank you!

So, you the sqare I press get frozen, but also anyone that adds to 10 = 0.

That's right. Any square you press becomes 0 (cleared), and also any square that adds up to 10. In both cases, the square becomes 0 and is frozen.

I almost solved it a few times, perhaps I needed 1 or 2 extra moves. Two feature requests:
It would be nice to be able to see a replay, sometimes I got a good 2 or 3 fists moves and I'd like to repeat them. (I don't like undo!)
Add an easy mode, I'd like the same rules and number of moves but a smaller board. Other method is something like 24 moves for 1 star, 20 for 2 stars and 16 for three stars.
